"A female teacher has sex with a 15 year old boy and prosecution reluctantly moves forward with supporters sending letters and protesting in her favor. A male teacher has sex with a 15 year old girl and a media frenzy swarms around him, the trial goes through in record time, and he's escorted about in a bullet-proof vest because of the death threats and the lynch mobs ready to tear him limb from limb."

Actually, a male teacher having sex with a 15 or 16 year old girl doesn't have quite as extreme a reaction as you say. That sort of reaction is usually reserved for pedophiles having sex with prepubescent children.

You are correct that the reaction is different however, and much of it is emotional, but there are rational reasons for the different reactions as well.

I don't know how many people caught this a couple of weeks ago. Barbwa WaWa did her last show on Mary Kay LaTourneau, the teacher that groomed a kid from eight until he had a couple of kids with her at twelve. It was an amazing puff piece on a pedophile with mental problems.

Later they had a show on evil guys on the internet trying to find young girls (all believed the girls were over 13 which beyond the definition of pedophile).

Go figure.
