The bottom line: our instincts are not there by coincidence or accident. Too many girls and women are injured or killed because they turn down the volume on their instincts since they want to seem "nice" and not make trouble and not hurt anybody's feelings.

The bulk of the time, the women are injured or killed by their thug boyfriends who they are just head-over-heels in loooove with, rather than "creepy" middle-aged teachers.

Yes. Or by stepping out into the darkness of an empty parking lot after working a late shift. Or when deciding whether a date can come in for coffee after he takes her home. It's at those times that our instincts shouldn't be suppressed; we should pay attention to the warning bells that go off. Too many women ignore the warning signs because they want to seem nice, or avoid charges of racism, or want to be helpful. They feel guilty even for having such uncharitable thoughts.

Several months ago a friend of mine was raped in a very pleasant, low-crime rural area. The perp was a business contact. While she was being sewn up she reflected bitterly that she should have paid attention to the bad feeling she got.

Probably there's nothing wrong with the teacher. But I had a seriously creepy teacher myself once, long ago, and he did turn out to be a real problem. Yes, they're out there. And I agree with you that convicting the guy before he has said or done a single thing to this girl is profoundly wrong and is typical of liberals. For all we know the girl is being hysterical.

But let me ask you: if the guy is a creep and he bothers this girl, wouldn't it have been easier to avoid the problem in the first place? See, what sets off alarm bells for me is the guy's insistence on being alone with this girl for an art class. I've never heard of this in art instruction given to a high school kid. It's bizarre. And this is a subject I know a little about (art, I mean).
