I saw a post about it on Imgur and the absolute worst comments about it are the "Well maybe he consented, then it wouldn't be rape would it didn't think about that huh. :smug:" posts like, no, gently caress off, adolescents are still in the process of developing their cognitive control system, and, likely connected to that, are more sensitive to (peer or otherwise) pressure than adults. They make bad decisions. A lot. Is it really that difficult to imagine that a situation where a fully cognitively developed adult (two of them in this case) having sex with someone with diminished decision making abilities may just set off some alarm bells, regardless of whether or not he "wanted it"? Do these people not remember making a single decision as a teenager that they look back on as an adult and go "WOW, that was stupid"?

I don't necessarily disagree with your sentiment, and then that they are authority figures this is absolutely wrong. That being said, in a lot of countries the age of consent is 16. So in those countries, if they were a 24 year old, and a 32 year old that weren't teachers, this would be totally legal. It would still be gross though.

I got through 3 comments :barf:

Although, scrolling to a random point, I did get to this pair of comments

quote:

What natural order? Among both our closest relatives, chimpanzees and bonobos, the females are at least as agressive in pursuing mates as the males, if often somewhat subtler in their approach. The whole "males do the pursuing" thing is probably a cultural artifact of the brief period in our species history when women were chattel. (Yes, it lasted for several thousand years - that makes it what, a few percent of the time in which we've been more or less human?)

quote:

Chattel? You mean, that for 2,000 years, in general society, women were just bought and sold like a farmer trades cows, or riders trade horses?

I honestly can't tell if he's agreeing with the first post or entirely unaware of any kind of human history?

I wasn't saying adults and adolescents having sex is always strictly illegal, just giving a scientific backing to why so many people consider it totally gross and weird as a counterargument to the theoretical idiot reading this thread after posting about how the kid in the news story was totally asking for it so stop worrying.

I tell you that theoretical idiot was so theoretically blown away by my argument he was theoretically literally bowled out of his theoretical chair. I sure theoretically showed him.

So two high school teachers had a threesome with a 16 year old student and were arrested for it. I didn't even have to guess this time what the comments were going to be like. Public comment section so screw making them anonymous.



They were kinda hot and Louisiana's age of consent is 17 or something similarly ridiculous

I remember when those kind of stories would break here in the UK and even when I was in school, the general opinion would be that the (male) kid is a legend. The age of consent here is 16. Although strangely, sexual predator teacher stories that I've seen always seem to be cases where female teachers are attractive, male teachers tend to look much creepier. It's obviously wrong to take advantage of that kid, but I can't imagine it would've been too hard to coerece a hormonal 16 year old boy to have a threesome with two attractive women.

With all that being said, I always assumed that the general consensus was that guys are pretty gross to older women until they hit around 20. You'll hear plenty of older male creepers talk about how hot they find teenage girls, but I never hear creepy older women talk about how much they're turned on by teenage guys.

Hell, teenage guys were gross to me even when I was a teenager myself, and I always thought that guys didn't start getting attractive until around their mid-twenties. Luckily there were no abusive authority figures around me to take advantage of that.

The difference between what older male creeps and older women creeps talk about is probably related to the fact that even outside creeper circles, women's sexual worth is generally tied to their physical attractiveness, which in turn is equated with youth - it's okay for them to be stupid and inexperienced and passive, because their tight body's what counts the most. With men it's more the opposite, experience is sexy. I think that skews the numbers. Or maybe the female creeps attracted to teenage boys are just less vocal about it.

Regardless of gender, I think adults who are attracted to teenagers are egotripping on being with someone who doesn't know better and is impressed by the stupidest poo poo. It's hella gross.

See that's a lot more acceptable and not as creepy compared to a teacher having sex with someone barely old enough to drive and at the prime for laughing at fart jokes.

If the people in your family started relationships with students while they were teaching them that would still be kinda hosed up. But at least then there's just the abuse of authority issue, rather than that plus the mental maturity issue.

Hopefully it still turned out alright.

No it goes for college too. The student-teacher relationship should not involve loving.

Now consensually loving a former student is perfectly fine and should be encouraged.

See the difference?

Look, you can have a moral debate about this for the rest of eternity about what constitutes rape but most will say that it's wrong for two adults to have sex with a minor, nevermind that it's your own grade school student.

I'm just wondering when the whole "America is dumb for not letting children drink beer" thing will stop, as if that's a huge problem this country really needs to be focusing on. Hell, most adults shouldn't be drinking alcohol.

I don't know if this is regional but where I'm from "grade school" refers to elementary, primary, kindergarten through 5th grade type schools. We generally frown on having sex with those kids.
