RE: Asian Georgia Middle School Teacher, 24, Faces Deportation After Being Charged with Molesting a 13-Year-Old Student

That poor innocent boy. He suffered a fate worse than death.

I did not expect you to be flippant regarding this patent double standard regarding teacher/student encounters.

The double standard is based on sound instinct. Most adolescent boys and men enjoy casual sex and sexual variety. Most adolescent girls and women do not.

It is men who cause minors harm by making moves on them. If a male teacher had done this to the 13 year old boy, he would deserve to be seriously punished. A man would also deserve to be seriously punished if he did this to a 13 year old girl.

The double standard, like the assertions of race realism, consists of truths that used to be acknowledged by nearly everyone.

[Most adolescent boys and men enjoy casual sex and sexual variety. Most adolescent girls and women do not.]

Ahhh but your comment implies that some girls D-O enjoy that, and would enjoy that. Conversely, some boys D-O N-O-T enjoy that, and would not enjoy that. So since we cannot deduce which individuals would be damaged by such interactions, and which ones would not, we should have a zero tolerance approach to all such interactions.

For the record, I am not one who could have enjoyed casual sex and sexual variety. I have never been tempted to hire a prostitute. I am innately monogamous.

What Rumah Byrapaka did was wrong, but not terribly wrong. She deserves some kind of punishment, but it should not be severe. Her mug shot indicates that she has already been humiliated by this.

Look at it from the boys point of view. . .
Let’s be honest? We should protect young girls, too. We should recognize the hurt this teacher has caused young girls the same age as this boy. She’s taken something from this boys classmates, the girls, the classmates, this boys own age.

I got jokes. . .but I don’t think I’m joking.

I agree. As a young student in Junior High and High School, I longed for the day when one of my female teachers would have tried something like this, especially if she would have sent me naked photos of her (of course, we didn't have cellphones at the time). Heck, even the less attractive teachers would have been hard to resist since my hormones were raging at the time! I wasn't the only young male teen who fantasied about it either. Most guys in school did, and it was common knowledge.

The 1970s was a different era, and if a female teacher was caught fornicating with her students, she likely would have been reprimanded and not much more than that. Things didn't really start to change until the latter 1980s or early 1990s.

I also agree that if a male does this to a boy or a young male teenager (regardless of the era), he ought to get prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. In my perfect world, something worse ought to happen to him than merely a jail sentence. Either way, it's unnatural and can really psychologically screw up a young teenager's head. This applies as well to female teachers - although I concede that the vast majority of teenage males are simply not traumatized by the sexual advances of their teachers. It's most often something they're proud of, and makes them feel more like a man. It proves, once again, how different males are from females.

And no, I'm NOT advocating that it's okay for adult female teachers to engage in sex with their younger male students. I'm simply pointing out differences in perspective and attitude that teenage males and teenage females feel about this sort of thing.
