Teacher goes to jail for sleeping with student

[Guest guest]

This is not entirely about the inequality in the (US) legal system between

men and women. It's also about the actual and inherent inequality between

male and female.

 

A boy's innocence and virginity is worth less than a girl's. And if the

adult in the relationship is a man, and there is a child concieved, that's

the problem of the girl and her family. If the adult is a woman, it's her

problem. So there are legitimate reasons for inequality in prosecution and

sentencing, although what those inequalities should be quantitively is

another question.

 

I would say that the boy in this case has probably been hurt more by the

guilt/infamy/adultery/legal proceedings than the act itself.

And what do you think would have been the sentence if it had been a male?

 

This was a comment about that case from where I got this piece:

 

_____

 

If anyone doubted the inequality in the legal system between men and

women...well, this is PROOF. If any silly chick says we are exagerrating,

this is clear and open proof. No two ways about it, no doubt about it.

 

Women are a privileged class in America, period. There is a different

standard for them in the legal system.

 

Women are allowed to rape little boys and get off with a slap on the wrist.

Loud and clear.

 

Women are allowed to rape little boys in America.

 

That should be the headline.

I don't accept this line of "reasoning" at all.

What does it have to do with India (Continental Committee) Open Forum? If

you two want to discuss it, do it privately or on a child abuse conference.

this is like saying that if you steal from a rich man the punishment should

not be as much as if you stole from a poor man because the rich can afford

it. But that is not the case in theeyes of the law: stealing is stealing no

matter who the victim is.
