The decade-long wave of sexual offenses committed by women teachers in particular have exposed a cultural double standard: The public is more willing to accept the female abuser's claim that she had a "relationship" with the victim. And in cases in which the male is a teenager, the sexual abuse is more likely to be dismissed as a rite of passage. The questionable, yet overriding assumption, is that women predators are somehow different from men.

These women are sick, and I agree with this article that their reception in society is much different than that of male sex offenders. However, I bet that men are the ones that are responsible for the difference in responses. I think in general, women think abuse of kids, by men or by women, is sick. But I think men, looking at these attractive teachers, are the ones triggering that "lucky kid" response.

sick, Sick, SICK!!!.
nonsense, Nonsense, NONSENSE.
In our society adult child sexual activity is morally wrong, illegal, and for most of us, it is pretty disgusting because we have been socialized that way. "Sickness" is a biological condition that tends to debilitate individuals. Adult-child sexuall does not meet criteria for "sickness." -
