Comment of the Week

New section: Comment of the Week.
This is the initial entry. 


On social media, the story is (yet again) about a female teacher having sexual relations with a teenage boy. This comment was on point:

Remember it's an "affair" or "romantic relationship" when the sexual predator is a woman but a "rape" or "sexual assault against a minor" when the predator is a man.

Either it's statutory rape, as what the law says (albeit more lenient for female rapists) for both sexes or it's an inappropriate "romantic relationship" for both.

Unless we're officially making special considerations by calling the female sex, as a whole, retarded and in need of special protections, this double-standard needs to go.
