The Pussy Pass

Music Teacher takes advantage of Special Needs boy

   It seems I can't go a day without reading a story like the one linked above. As part of this blog I would like to link stories like these and provide my feedback. These stories are important because they demonstrate the double standard society has for men and women.  In addition to posts about Pussy Pass situations, I will also link and provide feedback about false rape accusations, feminism, and any other topic I feel is related to our philosophy. 


   The article I linked today is about a woman named Caron Lewty. She engaged in a sexual relationship with a male student, and probably would have continued to do so if his mother hadn't found out about it. Caron is a 48 year old woman and her victim was 17 at the time of the abuse. Some people might not see a 17 year old boy sleeping with his female teacher (She actually slept with him) as not too big of a deal.  However this was not an ordinary 17 year old. The boy in question suffers from learning disabilities and is unable to determine who is and is not dangerous to him. Not much else is said about the victim, but it seems clear that he was taken advantage of.
   The biggest issue with this case isn't the abuse or the fact this woman took advantage of a young disabled boy; It is with her sentencing. She was sentenced to 6 months in jail and will only have to serve 3. Can you imagine what would have happened if the genders were reversed?
   Her lawyer painted this picture of her as a sad and lonely woman. As if somehow she was a victim herself. She is 48, overweight, and single. This boy reached out to her because she was responsible for him. Regardless if he wanted to participate in sex with this woman, she was in a position of power over the boy. His admission of feelings for her is supposed to make use feel sorry for her, so that we may justify her actions. Can we imagine the narrative if the genders were reversed?
   A 48 year old single male music teacher gives private lessons to a 17 year old girl with disabilities. She admits to him in private that she wants him. Stricken with surprise and consumed by his loneliness, he gives into her desires and they perform oral sex on each other before cuddling till morning in his king size bed.
   That doesn't quite sound the same does it? We all know what happens to men in the same situation. I do not condone sleeping with minors or teachers taking advantage of students. No matter the genders they should be punished. But does anyone think that 3 months of jail time would be sufficient if the teacher had been male? So why is it ok in her case?
