But she's a sex offender!
wombatsemenator
Nice double standard. If that was a guy he would be in prison and a sex offender. Such bullshit.

As a rational human being, this pisses me right the fuck off

Read that as "recreational human being". Was intrigued, then sad. Bit of a roller-coaster really.
Saucersausage
Now try saying that to the horndogs that applaud the students for having sex with her and those who wish "they had teachers like that in hs"
ImSureIHaveAnAccount
It's not either or. I'd have jumped on the chance to jump on my Geography teacher in Freshman year. This is still wrong.
IJUSTMADETHEVOICEINYOURHEADYELL
I LIKE THE IDEA OF THE SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY, BUT I DON'T LIKE THE REALITY OF IT. THAT WHOLE SYSTEM NEEDS A SERIOUS OVERHAUL.

The worst fucking part is when that happens there are always a ton of people saying "Lucky kids" and "wish I was them."

She is a pedophile and the system is fucked. Very disappointing.

dhaskjdhawyajhdbsdbgwakjhbdnmcckclkklkl
That's kinda bullshit, since you can piss on the side of a road with no one around, and become a sex offender.
dustbowldano
Wells that's just not true. Only 13 states have laws that would result in registration for public urination and that is only if someone sees
dhaskjdhawyajhdbsdbgwakjhbdnmcckclkklkl
I mean, someone can just turn the corner and see though.
nirach
Well to be fair, if you get busted for pissing in the street, someone DID see..
playthatrecordbackwards
My state makes people register if they urinate outdoors and someone sees even if they're on their own property.

This is bullshit.....a sex offender is a sex offender. She still took advantage of them.
ularg
Feminist here too, really tired of the "Teenage boys can't be sexually assaulted/raped, they wanted it!" it disgusts me.
ImgurianElysium
I think this makes a grand total of 100% out of 100% of female teachers who haven't had to register. Please correct me if I am wrong.
DreamCatcher01
Wow. That is some ridiculous shit right there.
ambereyedragon
As a teacher this makes me sick
WedsBunneh
As a feminist this outrages me beyond any other rage.
SeriouslyILoveCake
As a female, I agree but have actually had more male friends truly believe it's different & argue that it's not the same then agree with me.
meloncanister
what
Captainius
Her male friends think it's different (maybe less disgusting) when a woman is the offender, I think?
SeriouslyILoveCake
That is what I meant. I tried to explain it was abuse & they kind of laughed & made jokes about wishing some woman would've "abused" them.
JtPv
That mentality tends to come from the belief that men can't get raped, which is really fucking sad because that just silences male rape vics
meloncanister
oh. I guess that, but wasn't sure.

and people wonder why school shootings happen.

Not because of reasons like that.

you sure?
Scribble5664
Why would this infuriate you as a feminist? Sex with minors doesn't need feminist intervention it's fucking paedophilia regardless of gender
HypostaticUnion
Because it seems she it getting unfair punishment based on societal gender construction. She's a woman so not a threat.
kosmoosi
*child molesting.
DataLady
Because this is some bullshit. Not seen as a threat because she's a woman and as a feminist I think that's fucking stupid.
Scribble5664
Again why as a feminist? Someone has broken the law, done something morally wrong and isn't being punished for it?
DataLady
Because this mentality that sex crimes committed by women are less than those of men insinuate that all males are "lucky" to have sex (no) 1
DataLady
Regardless of the circumstances which is wrong. It also insinuates she is less threatening as a sexual predator because she is just a woman.
DataLady
Feminism is about equality in every sense possible. Men and women should get similar sentences in these cases where case facts are similar

LooseyGooseyBrett
Boys were 17, that's old enough. Hell, in Japan they could be 14 and its legal.
TheNortherner
Are you sure? I know that age of consent often has a law attached that limits age gap between the two participants.
candleinhisdick
She's a person of authority/influence. If she wasn't a teacher it wouldn't matter

IIRC there is a much higher rate of statutory rape amongst the public school teachers then in the Catholic Church*, but look at the response
Drapetomanius
*not Catholic, not religious, not defending the church's behavior. Just noting the dual standard.
HypostaticUnion
I would love a stat on that. Do you know where you might've read that?
Drapetomanius
I only have time for a little digging. My apologies. http://www2.ed.gov/rschstat/research/pubs/misconductreview/report.pdf
BigMistakeBigHUGE
Had a teacher who flirted,If he had gone for it, I prob would have. Now at 27, I KNOW I'd be messed up.she took advantage of their hormones
GTimgur
I hope you don't mind my asking, but why in this scenario would it have messed you up? Just honest curious question!
BigMistakeBigHUGE
Just because I was a 16 yr old girl and he was 28, and married. As an adult I would have realized how messed up it all was.
superfeathers
That doesn't mean it has to mess YOU up.

Oh yeah, haha. I don't quite understand the age difference part, but him being married... yikes.

Well that is stinking awesome. Butte county imgurians represent.
stickemwiththepointyend
As a human being it frustrates me. But yeah, flip the genders and it would be a fucking uproar.
Journeycake
This isn't being upvoted enough
IAmDrBanner
You don't even need to flip the genders. Pissing in public is enough to register you as a sex offender, but this isn't, apparently.
stickemwiththepointyend
I just meant in the sense of how OP worded the post re being a feminist. The system is fucking pathetic.
Ketheres
Well, the kids were 17, which I personally don't count as minors (16 is where you're responsible for your shit). Still, sex with students=no
PoopShipDestroyer55
Isn't some judge being ousted for giving probation to a guy for raping a passed out chick behind a dumpster?
PenisShapedPoops
Wasn't that the one about the athlete?
HeroThatWasNeeded
Santa Cruz, Stanford kid trapped a passed out girl. So it's more of an affluenza typer of deal.
stickemwiththepointyend
As he well should be. But this happens way more often to female offenders as opposed to male, and it's bullshit b
divitu
Gonna need some statistics on that.
stickemwiththepointyend
That female offenders get lesser sentences? Ok, give me a few and I'll get back to you.
divitu
As compared to how often men get light sentences, although rereading now, that's not really what you were claiming.
PoopShipDestroyer55
Yet I take a piss behind a bar and now I have to register!

summitshow
Support gender equality... Not feminism, its shit.
kornodog
Inform yourself dude: feminism fight for gender equality. That's not a team made of women only ffs
summitshow
I know what they stand for, but why not just fight for equal gender equality? I refuse to be labeled feminist, equality thou.. Yes.
Boserbosmos
I think femanist title has gotten such a bad stigma that the movement would get more traction labeled as gender equality, they are the same
thecactusfucker
Feminism IS gender equality, bruh. Real feminists want shit like this gone, too. it's the crazies that think all men must die.
summitshow
Why not just equality? Why label it femine??

Well, because it started with (and is still at its core about) allieviating the injustices that women face more than men, since at the 1/

This is a comment I was looking for lol
Starcatcher1986
It's possible to be put on the list for peeing in public, which kinda invalidates the whole list. Public urination is not a sex crime.
Euffy
Well, it's exposing yourself in public.
killdread
well i guess, but public restrooms aren't private restrooms and you can't get in trouble for whipping your dick out there for the same thing
ITalkAboutGoats
I thought intent was part of the list, too.

"I don't want to be sexist." as they proceed to be sexist as fuck.
ularg
I highly doubt that. It's just an inherently sexist system doing what it always does. For either side.
Iamtheonewholurks
They were 17. Legal age of consent in a lot of places is 16. They know what they are doing. Illegal, yes. Consensual, yes.
ularg
Just because it's another age somewhere else means jack shit. They're CHILDREN.
Iamtheonewholurks
No. It means the judicial system here has deemed 16 old enough. They are 17, not 13. It was consensual and leniency should be given.
Crogicun
That's what statuatory rape is.
Iamtheonewholurks
Yes. But what she did versus if the person was 13 is a little different. I think leniency should be given as it was. I see your POV though.
TheNortherner
Age of consent where it happened: 18. Wich means rape. At 16 you can drink in Denmark, but that won't help you if you sell beer 1/2
TheNortherner
To a 17year old in the US. You have to follow the laws of the place you are. Not the place you wish you were. 2/2
Saxit
Just FYI, you can drink at any age in Denmark, there's only an age restriction when buying alcohol.
TheNortherner
But it's hard to have 100% of the information in 140 characters. But thanks :)
TheNortherner
I know. Same in norway. But if you look I say that laws in Denmark do not matter in the US. So she us still a sex offender.
WheelyWonka
This happened in California. Age of consent there is 18.
Iamtheonewholurks
Which is why I said illegal. My point is they're old enough to know what's going on and be consensual. No need to label her a sex offender.
WheelyWonka
Was just commenting on the first bit. I agree.
PaulVolckerWithLipstick
I think you're confusing old enough to know what's going on with old enough to consent. In Cali they could not legally consent.
Iamtheonewholurks
I realize legally they can't. Where I'm from they can. She should not be allowed to teach, but ruining her life outside of that? I disagree
LordIndica
... So u say she committed an illegal sex crime, was brought before court for the offense of statutory rape... But isnt a sex offender?
Iamtheonewholurks
My point is they were 17 and consenting, it's hardly a sex crime, even if illegal. Age of consent is 16 where I'm from. Lose her job, yes.
[deleted]
[deleted]
Iamtheonewholurks
I'm aware. She should never be allowed to teach again. But labelling her a sex offender ruins her life when the kids were consenting.
