Even though it has been clinically established that child abuse of boys by females such as teachers upsets them as much as abuse by men against girls, you have only to read a thread on FR to find the Jerk Contingent posting "NOT GUILTY" if she's "hot" or "I wish it had happened to me" or "lucky kid" or "I'd hit it" -- every time. It is revolting.
As the mother of a son, I also would have struck anyone who tried to harm him with whatever was available. For example, I once saw some neighborhood bullies ganging up on a smaller boy in our block; I chased them waving a garden rake and screaming curses like a banshee. Completely spontaneous, not a moment's thought; and scared them out of their wits. Would do it again.

That’s great! I salute you! :-)
