A couple of thoughts:
1. I think this is a lot more common than people think (male students and older female teachers). I’ve talked to some female teachers who have confessed attraction to their male students (though none admitted doing anything about it).
2. Just like young women are beauty objects to men, older women are attracted to young men
3. Many of them may have latent issues from their High school days and this is their way to live them out.
4. Like others, I don’t put younger males/older women in the same category as when the genders/ages are reversed. Why? Simply because young men are a lot more willing and less chance of psychological harm and no chance of pregnancy.
“Many of them may have latent issues from their High school days and this is their way to live them out.”
My guess is that the teachers go for the varsity athletes who ignored them in their own high school days.
True, teenage boys are probably a hundred times more willing than teenage girls - but the "level of willingness" among those teenage girls who are seduced by their HS teachers is still so high that it cannot be compared to non-consensual rape.
If their (the girls') "level of willingness" were transferred to the victim of a car theft, for example, the judge would throw out the case.
So the fact that boys will hop on practically anything in skirts obscures the fact that the girls (in most of these cases) are likewise willing and thus culpable.
I'd still say that there is considerable risk of psychological harm among the boy victims. And the risk of pregnancy is still there (imagine being a 16-year-old father, and being on the hook for child support! Or having to deal with the guilt and/or pain of an abortion!) - as well as the risk of contracting a venereal disease.
These female teachers are nutso, to boot!
