We can think deeper than that.

It's a joke, guys.

Or jury nullification, take your choice.

If there is one continuing disappointment for me here on FR it is this propensity to find someone “not guilty,” or even “guilty,” on the basis of a picture. We can think deeper than that.

At first blush, yes, I understand how folks come to that conclusion.

A bit deeper analysis might lead you to the understanding that it is simply blowing off steam. It’s a pretty intense time for the world and for America. A little inappropriate levity never hurt anyone too bad.

Guilty as hell.

I’m sure you will be such a good influence on your sons and daughters

And since at 14 you weren’t molested by a person in a position of pwer and authority over you, you have know way to know how you would respond.

You are either thinking with your little brain (ie you 14 yr old fantasy) or your other little brain

not funny or even slightly amusing.

this subject gets treated like it is no big deal all to often. (usually by some ‘man’ who treats women in a very superficial manner)

I’ve just finished my “deep thinking exercises”, and still say “not guilty”.

thank you. I get so tired of these so called ‘conservative men’ who do the nudge nudge wink wink as if that is all men or women are good for. It is animalistic and hedonistic and I really dislike it

and you are folling yourself. IF this was one of the first times such nonsense had happened then maybe. This has been happening at FR since it’s start. Some of the males on hear aren’t as refined as the swine in the waller

Hey maybe I’ll go back in the bathroom and produce a sense of humor for you, you old catcher’s mitt!

Is this actually a new phenomenon? Or, is this just more reported today than in the past? I don’t know the answer.

I went to school in the 70’s. This was every pubescent boy’s dream fantasy, and so far as any of us remember it never happened to anyone back then. The fact Mary Kay Letourneau got away with it appears to have made it hip and cool.

Yes, I’m well aware of this being a “joke”, or rather, sardonic humor brought about because a number of high profile cases like this where the “attractive” female teacher was given a very light sentence relative to what is given to men or unattractive women. I tried to make this point to another FReeper (female) and received the brunt of her animus because she couldn’t understand the “humor”.

It might also be a reaction to double standards imposed on male teachers as opposed to female teacher. Or, it might be a statement that there should be a double standard imposed on male teachers as opposed to female teachers who have to do with underage pupils of the opposite sex.

Well, she didn’t actually “get away” with it. She did serve time in either jail or prison.

I had only one really good looking teacher, and she was 1st grade, and just graduated from college. They all went downhill after that.............

I had one hottie Mrs Valentine 3rd grade great teacher. The rest were ugly male and female. Some I think now were both.

There are threads, like this one, that are the equivalent to a midnight showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Folks show up in costume with their lines already memorized. Nobody actually goes for the movie, although there is likely someone trying to shush the audience.
