12. Double standards

A story like this, with a female teacher abusing (yes, abusing) under-age boys, brings out the jokers who make light of it. But I'm sure the response would be different if it had been a male teacher sleeping with girls. Why is that?

Those kids were used. They may have enjoyed it (hell, I would have, at that age), but, legally, they weren't able to give informed consent, so what happened was wrong. They may benefit from the experience, but, equally, it could screw them up. Let's not treat it as a joke, ok?
