because of my gender this is seen as a lesser crime. I have been told time after time, that now I am 18, I will have to wait years for support,The years of wait he is referring to is because his nation has socialist medicine. So he does not fit the stereotypical (female) trauma victim on the UK National Health System's check boxes:
While the distress of an 18-year-old girl who was impregnated at 15 by an older male teacher will be readily recognized by the NHS and she would be regarded as deserving of ongoing therapy, the same thing that happened to him will be minimized because he is a male. He will be pushed to the back of the line.
This straight-A student will be expected to just get over the death of all his and his parents' aspirations for a solid launch to independent adulthood. He will be compelled either to get an unskilled job to pay child support, or to impose on his parents when he should be finding his wings. He will have guilt and shame for breaking their hearts.
But hey, he got some hot pagan cougar nooky, so it's all good with you, right?
Im re-thinking my “joke” posting and have since read that the young males in these situations universally relate that their lives were forever altered for the worse from these encounters. I retract my joke post and will consider more carefully future responses. From all that I can tell, reading, these encounters follow the trope that sexual assaults’ by one person in greater power positions over another, are not arising from love and passion but a search for power over another, vulnerable person. The dynamic shouldn’t be seen as a relationship of any normal kind but abuse by a predator. Females in the predator role aren’t traditionally seen that way by the general public but perhaps that is changing?
