Female High School Teacher Has Kid With A Teen - Double Standard?

Female High School Teacher Has Kid With A Teen - Double Standard?

I am intrigued by the media coverage of the story about a female high school teacher, aged 36, who has a kid with a teen. She is allegedly to have been having sex with the teen, or at least grooming the teen for sex since he was 14. If a male had committed the alleged offense, he would have been called a pedophile. Is the press being cautiously responsible, or administering different standards to female child abusers?

  • It is a complete double standard. So sick! Any adult that takes advantage of a child needs to be locked-up. We need a cultural shift, sexual abuse committed against men and boys just isn't taken as seriously. Statistically 1 in 6 males will have sexual assualt committed against them it may not be 1 in 4 but it is still a shockingly high number when you think about it. And I personally think if we stopped treating male victims like crap we'd see the number is a lot higher. I'm willing to bet there are just as many male victims as female. Men just aren't supposed to talk about it.

  • If she gets off or gets a light sentence, yes, it would be considered to be a double-standard.

    I would like to blame the press, but it simply does not help when you get men repeatedly saying how lucky this kid was. He is still a child and now has a child himself by a sexual predator.

    Everyone needs to condemn this for what it was. . . child rape.

    • Sigh.

    • Exactly!

  • She did more than groom him, she had a child with him, convinced his Mom to "custody share" him with her so he could live with her, etc. She is a pedophile. (No, I don't care that there are subsets of terms based on age ranges for sexual attraction to children. Not the point.) Lots of questions to come from this investigation...

  • It's a total double standard but this happens a lot more then most people know. I have even had one classmate a freshman and (15) of mine brag that he was having sexual contact with one of my teachers in my own school. Learned about this through a friend but we all thought he was full of it and didn't believe him. He actually was proud of it.

    I believe this is part of the problem as teenage guys are discovering the power of what sexuality in terms of societal expectations for guys is, and the teachers are in the position closest to them as what makes them vulnerable and easy targets. I can post many many more cases like the ones above here. most female teachers are getting very light sentences, those whom are discovered, some even acquitted!

    I believe this emboldens females whom would engage in sexual activities with their students knowing that even if caught the sentences would be relatively light. There have been been cases where the teachers have claimed to be victims and the students charged with sexual assault!

    Good news is a few of these cases, a couple teachers were handed out sentences of 10 to 20 years in prison plus registered as lifetime sex offenders, which I believe with public awareness needs to become the norm.

  • Total double standard. This woman is a predator as much as a guy would be.

  • I'm not sure that the media would call a male teacher a pedophile unless he had been convicted of the offense.

  • Unbelievable!!!

  • What is it with these teachers? There is always one in the news. I am so glad my kids are out of school.

  • Sure wish some of my hot teachers got a little more hands on, one on one with sex ed in school. Share the knowledge, I say.

  • "Everbody I talked to I was frank with that my son was having sexual relationships with this woman, with a teacher.

    She had a hold on my son and [the police] told me he's not co-operating with us so we no can do nothing with it."

    Yes, this is a complete double standard. No way the police would have been this relaxed about it if the situation was genderswapped. It is very likely the teacher will get away with a lighter sentence than a male teacher would have as well.

  • I've been intrigued by cases like this for a while, and of course they just keep coming. I'm sure everyone is familiar with the case of that high school teacher "kidnapping" his female student, since that was a recent incident. Everyone blamed the guy even though I'm sure the female went along with it to an extent. In this society there is such a double standard for women that it isn't even funny. Most females who prey on younger males NEVER get serious charges. It's usually a suspended prison term and a number of years on house arrest. It's ridiculous.

    • a mind blowing amount of mothers, aunts and nannies. most cases are never reported. noone would take the men seriously even in bigger ages.

    • @levantine99 Exactly. That's the same reason males don't report rape or stalking. I never even thought of the unreported cases, or the women positions, especially nannies.

    • yeah they even rape babies and little boys. some were captured by cameras put by parents in the house. some just beat the babies but its still traumatic and violent.

  • Let's rape shame her.

  • Damn shame

  • Not a double standard because the older men who do it with teen girls are ugly.

  • I know its unfair and yes its a double standard, but some double standards are good and exist for a reason. It's different when a male consents to sex. Boys that age just have different mind sets and even a 14 year old boy is stronger than a woman like that. If the older woman was stronger than I could understand, but almost all of the time the young under age boy is still stronger so they can defend themselves if she were to try to rape him or hurt him. Where as a little girl is completely weak and helpless towards the much older male teacher. Also often times the male teachers end up raping or hurting the under aged girl he has a relationship with where as the older woman doesn't hurt or rape the boy.

  • What The Fuck?

  • Wow.

  • If that was a man she would be crucified

  • if it was a man he would be crucified, thrown in jail, and then stabbed in jail.

  • Hell no
