I think there is less vilification, mainly from a certain type of bloke (go on son!) who doesn't see this as the same as a girl being groomed by a male teacher.

I think there's a perception of leniency being extended to female teachers who are at least mildly attractive because most men wouldn't have objected to a hot teacher wanting to do them when they were 13 or 14.

Not sure if that's actually how things go but the perception is there.

yeah I get that aspect, and there's obviously some truth to that, but whenever a case like this comes along in the UK it seems like people jump on it to make the same point, often with the implication that male privilege is a myth

She's in court, has her face in the papers, she's getting agro online, will lose her job for sure and likely some other rights (if not her freedom)...

Now if the sentencing is more lenient than a bloke, then yeah, that's obviously not something I would agree with

I think the point he's making is that it's not treated the same by the public

If it were a bloke they wouldn't be able to show their face in that town again, not just having people drag him online :lol: probably be safer in prison than their home for a when people find out about it

I'll try to avoid lazy commentary about perceived general inequality in the courts, but sentences are allowed to be based on the impact of the crime on the victims and the impact of sentencing on the perpetrator so public attitudes to the issue can actually have an influence

Sentencing for these crimes usually indicate that duration in prison is much more lenient when it is a female teacher/male student than when it is a male teacher/female student.

Crazy now how many female teachers are getting caught having sex with pupils, especially in America. I seen a video where some expert was interviewed and he said its because they are watching teacher/student porn on the web and they just take it to the next level - completely lose any sense of right and wrong.

Yeah that is a fair point I’d agree with, especially if the pupil was underage

but that point can be made, as you’ve just demonstrated, without bringing male privilege into it

For me that’s almost as redundant as climate change denialists using short term weather trends as evidence it’s all a hoax, or racists mentioning they have black friends as proof they’re not racist

That porn plot line isn't exactly new though.

I agree, it's not even the correct use of the term privilege for what they are intending to dismiss and the point of women abusing children being 'treated better than men' that they are really raising as 'privilege' can also be explained logically and just as persuasively through a feminist lens so it's not a good attempt at a dunk

The fact that she kept the baby, knowing full well it could never have a relationship with its father, is particularly gruesome

The Sun has been calling her a paedo all week. They revel in it when they get to do so or call a serial killer a bastard.

It's up to her if she wants an abortion or not.

That's a bit of a weird take.

Should mothers whose partners die while they're pregnant get abortions too?

Yeah, nothing speaks safe like being a chomo in prison.

Would not be surprised if she dodges a custodial sentence completely.

Yes it is, but it’s also shitty to the child that it can never have a relationship with its father. Growing up without a parent is pretty grim for a child as it is. The fact that this child grows up without a father and also with its mother in prison is additional justification

That’s a completely different situation to raping a child though isn’t it

So you want enforced abortion?
She raped a minor. If the shoe was on the other foot and it was a female who was raped we wouldn’t be clamouring for the child to be born would we

It's a tricky issue but ultimately can you enforce an abortion? I don't think the powers that be should have such a right.

If you could guarantee the child would be raised in good home then I'd be more optimistic but that's not guaranteed.

There isn't an easy answer...

It's up to child services if she sees the child.

Of course it is. But your point was: "it's particularly gruesome that she kept the baby, knowing full well it could never have a relationship with its father".

She's a weird one, has been in court with her child's bonnet tucked into her waist band or in her pocket.

nah but most would agree it’s the mothers choice

In that scenario the mother would almost always want to abort, surely

I’m not sure how this relates to my post but I’m hungover so maybe best to ignore me

But why would anyone want to the mainstream media to label her a pedo? That’s not true is it?
If this was a male teacher and a female student he would be labeled as a paedo, the reverse should be and is true.

15 year old's, male or female, are below the age of consent, if they have sex with an adult then that is rape, doesn't matter if it is "consensual" because at 15 they don't have the capability in the eyes of the law to consent.

They get labelled paedo if they're prepubescent.

If they've gone through puberty, it's still grooming etc but not necessarily paedophilic. There's an actual term for it but I can't remember...ebebophile(sp?)
