is there a double standard

In light of recent events..i just thought i would bring this up.
Today (having no life and all)..i watched an episode of oprah in which she identified 35 female teachers who had sexual relationships with one or 2 of thier students...some as young as 13.
Many of these teachers became pregnant and after spending a short time in prison ..were released on certain bail conditions and had to enlist on public record as a sex predator...had thier babies and carried on with thier lives.
Some of the students involved appeared on the show and gave thier versions of events and in most cases..the scenario was the same..the teacher lured them into a sexual relationship and because of thier age..thought themselves to be cool for being invited to freely hav 1st time sex with an adult woman.
Now the teachers excuses were..'oh i wasn't happy' or 'i was at the lowest point in my life' etc.

My point is this..these females are not classed as paedophiles..just sexual predators ..therefore will be able to work again in the schooling system..if they married and had a name change.

What is the difference between their status as to that of a male who does the same thing.??

that's very worrying. My cousin had underage sex and says it was the biggest mistake of his life. He lost his virginity to a girl he barely knew and now that he's 18, says he wishes he has waited and made it right, with his long term girlfriend who he has real feelings for. Not just lust. That's why if I was approched by a teacher, no matter how appealing, I woudn't do anything and would go straight to the police.

The problem is these women are not even really considered sexual predators. Society as a whole do not really look down on these women. An older woman having sex with a younger man, no one bats an eye, because if she can screw a younger male, she must be hot. In the reverse, an older male having sex with a younger woman is sick and disgusting. Why? Because men by society as a whole are looked as protectors, while women are seen as weak and needing love and attention. These perceptions are far from true but are still held

Teacher Pamela Rogers Turner received a 9 month active sentence for having sex with a 13 year old. After Turner is released from jail, she will be on supervised probation for the rest of an eight-year suspended sentence. The judge also ordered her to surrender her teaching certificate and said she would be registered as a child sex offender. The sentence prohibits her from profiting from the case and does not allow interviews.

Ray Cannup used the internet to solicit sex from a 21 year-old police officer pretending to be a 13 year old. he was arrested and charged with a sex crime and sentenced to 3 years in prison.

Pamela Rogers received a sentence of 3 months for raping a 13 year old.


lefave was so hot, why would she want a kid?

yes, double standards.....they should be treated the same.

weak judges shouldn't be judges at all. Judges who judge by appearance as apposed to crime are disgusting and should be thrown in jail themselves.

Until society changes and starts truly treating the actions of men and women equal, the laws will not be the same. Men are treated better in the work environment, but the laws are much more severe for them.

It's strange. Women are always saying how much better and stronger than men they are but they still enforce the "You can't hit a girl or you're gay" rule. Aren't they calling themselves weaker in doing that.

Ferret, it is human nature to take advantage of perceptions and social standards. Not all but some women will use things such as you dont hit a woman to their advantage. Same thing with the old standard of paying for dinner or opening doors. It is a double standard but men do the same thing. It is human nature which is why things will probably never change
