In reply to the discussion: Susan Duursma Sentenced to Sixty Days in Jail for Sex Crime with Teen [View all]lumberjack_jeff
(33,224 posts)23. Gman, can you elaborate on why it's okay for female teachers to have sex with their students...
but not male teachers?
What is it that is different between male and female teachers and male and female students?
Reading between the lines implies that you consider a 15 year old (male) student with a female teacher a peer or near-peer relationship and therefore not exploitative.
I would ask the jury the same question if I could.

OP
Depends on state. In Montana, her sentence is 2x what a male teacher got, and no slut-shaming.

Rape apologia is generally hidden. And I tend to agree with the reasons why. n/t
