Religous double standard.

Geeze I had a few female teachers that I wanted too...............Miss Woodrell where are you??????? And I was only in 3rd grade hee. Would I consider myself molested..............NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOO but it may be guy thing [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Well yes, it seems most molestors are not women, that is a bit on the rare side. But the later effect could turn said molested boy into someone who hates women (you guys picture an ugly woman and not some sexy teacher if you must lol, how would you feel then?) [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Maybe a woman who looks like a beholder.

I think there's a lot of male-rape (by women or men) that doesn't go reported, mostly I think because men/boys are supposed to be tough and be able to fight and being molested, even when they're little, isn't very 'masculine'. Many more women and girls feel able to report being sexually abused because even though there's still the shame and fear of being raped, there's not the extra shame boys feel about having their sexuality and masculinity questioned. It's hard to know exactly how many women are sexually abusing children for this reason.

Magik whether you would have enjoyed a female teacher 'showing you the ropes' or not isn't really the issue. The issue isn't even about sex and whether it's forced or not - it's about power, and adults having sex with children is all about an inappropriate power relationship and taking advantage of children who aren't mature enough to make rational choices. I don't know the statistics for outcomes for boys who are sexually abused but whether or not there are different outcomes for boys and girls doesn't make it less serious for boys.

Regarding the article, aren't there steps being taken within the church at the moment to change the policies of coverups and moving known paedophiles around instead of turning them in? I don't know much about it but wasn't there a big convention recently about this issue? I've heard also that many groups are saying the new policies aren't enough but I'm thinking what you're comparing is something happening right now with things that happened over the past few decades. It's likely that if this teacher was a male right now he would be sacked as well.

But what a sick story, that just disgusts me.

i recall before, that a 11-12 year old girl became pregnant somewhere here. (however both were students). tsk, such an early age. i heard that a girl could get pregnant as young as 9 (but i just heard that before... dont kill me! )

Keep this clean and on topic guys. Hunter, I will leave it to you to watch this thread, and keep everything on topic and not let it turn into a flamewar.

Why is it that when a priest is accused of child molesting the just ship him to a new parish full of victims but the woman in this article got turned in?? How come according to the news, the church is still arguing against a zero tolerance policy for child molesting priests?? I am not trying to justify what this women did, but when I see in the news that priests have molested dozens of kids and just get shipped out of the hot zone I get a little pissed at the hipocracy.

I think it's merely because the evidence is a bit more difficult to hide if you're a woman, if you know what I mean. Sure, there are "corrective measures", but that's a whole 'nother topic that I don't feel like going into.
