although it's not good for a female teacher to be with a male student I don't see how the student is damaged in any substantial way.

Depending on the age difference and the power difference, people who study adult-to-child sex abuse of boys have found that some boys are gravely harmed by statutory rape. A child cannot give consent because of an immature mind. The targeted male child experiences coercion, seduction and a sense of being overpowered by a woman. Especially if social media leaks get involved, the teasing, bullying or shunning that goes on during or afterward with the other kids or their parents can be very damaging.

Well,if the female teacher is threatening the 14/15/16 year old boy with a baseball bat then he'd be afraid...and psychologically damaged.

As for teasing: if word gets out he'd be a hero to his male friends.To all male students for that matter. Don't know about the girls.

OK...yes,the boy could be damaged in a certain set of circumstances. But it's hard to imagine a female teacher taking a nasty attitude or any attitude that would cause the kid to think of the encounter as anything but "epic".

Your imagination is at odds with the actual research. But go on, entertain yourself.

Why Sexual Exploitation by a Teacher Is So Intensely Damaging
…student-victims of teacher sex abuse frequently struggle to recover…

Sexual Abuse of Boys

The Sexual Abuse of Boys Is Not About ‘Getting Lucky’ and We Need to Stop Promoting This Myth

They are damaged by it. It shapes their future experiences and views about women.

Regardless its an adult in charge over a minor. The adult knows what they are doing. They are using a minor to satisfy their sexual urges. Further it destroys a marriage when the adult female is married.

So regardless if you can personally grasp and understand the law, it doesnt matter if the minor is willing or not. When has that reason ever saved an adult male from consequences? Many girls are happy for the attention and fun from an older male in a position of power. The girls “are in love” often. Why aren’t the men saved by “well they weren’t damaged, they wanted to be with the guy” argument?

The reason is it doesnt matter. Male and female adults know what they are doing, it doesn’t matter if the minor consents because they can’t give consent and ifurther its immaterial to the laws on the books regarding sex with minors. And then also tack on they are in positions of power over these minors so theres a power element there.

Bottom line: I can easily see how girls can be seriously damaged by having contact with adult males *and* females. It's also obvious to me that young boys can be seriously damaged by contact with adult males. However,although I suppose that young boys can,sometimes,be harmed by contact with adult females I find it difficult to accept that *all* boys who have such contact are seriously harmed.

I hold this opinion because I have a pretty good understanding of the *immense* psychological differences between young girls and boys...as well as other differences.

I'm not saying young male/adult female contact is good but I'd equate the different scenarios I've mentioned to stealing $5,000 from a gas station at gunpoint and stealing a $5 sandwich from a Price Chopper supermarket.

I disagree. And you minimize female sex predators doing so. They are adults and should be held just as accountable as men. For gods sake they have come after the boys for child support if they get knocked up.

You have an incorrect view of whats going on. For boys its an achievement to get a girl to want to make out/have sex, it requires effort and value on their part.

What we’re talking about is an adult female predztor who targets a particular boy they have decided they want to have sex with. Its no real achievement for a boy to “get” a female sex predator who’s already decided they want to have sex with that boy.

You have a flawed view of reality that these two scenarios are the same thing. They certainly are not.

Which I never asserted. My original post on the topic stated that the circumstances vary.

I hope you do read the articles and develop a better understanding that not all boys would share your reaction or point of view, and that child sex abuse can have lasting negative consquences for many boys—ven SOME of the ones who think it's only about bragging rights. That may be bravado to cover up or deny real disfunction in various areas of adult life.
