Why aren't boys allowed to be victims?
When it comes to sexual abuse perpetrated by women, boys are treated as lucky little Lotharios.
Tracy Clark-Flory [2007-10-22]

  • it's a definite double standard...

    ...and the amount of damage done isn't dependent on age, gender, etc.--it will vary according to each and every case.

    Kids of both sexes and all sexual orientations have ALWAYS lusted after their teachers. The onus is on the teachers to, you know, NOT HAVE SEX WITH THEIR STUDENTS. Even if the kid in question is an 19-year-old high school senior and the teacher is a 21-year-old fresh out of college (an age difference that most people wouldn't bat an eye at). One is the student; the other is the teacher. What's so hard about waiting till the student graduates before making your move?
