If I were to ping some of those posters, I wonder if they'd have the same type of reactions.

Of course not.

Male teacher/female student = rapist, pervert, skin him alive and throw him in a vat of acid.

Female teacher/male student= lucky guy, hot babe, were these kind of teachers when I was a kid?, and she's not bad looking, NOT GUILTY

Some people's hypocrisy is staggering.

Hey metmom... I totally agree, except when the hypocrite is trying to be funny... The teacher posts (especially the female teachers) tend bring out the incredulous poster and the satirical poster... Sometimes, the line between the two is not easily discernible...

All people are doing is using humor/parody to show a definite double standard in society. For some reason lots of these stories are posted on FR, and you have to admit the men are nearly always handed stiff sentences and the women get off light, often with probation. And, incredibly, the better looking the woman generally the lighter the sentence.

I'm not defending it, but it is an interesting pattern to watch.
