There are Two Kinds of Female Predator from Planck's Constant

Female Predator - The First Kind

For more than 10,000 years on this planet teenage men have had sex without guilt or shame. However, in America, we consider it wrong if a young man engages in sex before the age of 16. I think it is morally wrong if a boy does not have sex before that age. Certainly most of the violence in the world can be explained by men who have not had enough nookie. Indeed, the large number of unwed mothers, the obscene number of women who are abused, the frustration of so many young men, all point to a society badly in need of a attitude adjustment regarding sex.

At least it can be said we are better off than Muslims. Certainly there would be fewer Jihadists if Islamic culture permitted their young men to have a few virgins in this world rather than making them wait until the next ¹.

But to many anally-blocked parents in America a female predator is viewed as if she were a beast as in the photo above. My own view is expressed in a previous post of mine Female Sexual Predator - oxymoron that I do not consider it a crime when a woman has sex with a teenager, provided it is consensual. If force is used, either physical or mental or extortion is involved (either promising better grades for the sex or threatening bad grades if denied the sex) then it is no different than rape. However that is rarely the case.

When I was younger in the 50s and 60s, society had the good sense to ignore these "crimes'. But now that prosecutors can make big money and retire on huge pensions, everything is a big crime. Let's be honest, women are not the same as men. Thankfully many judges and courts recognize this so many women are not sentenced as harshly as men ².

Now there will be some people who will say that teenage boys having sex with a female teacher can end up depressed or have attacks of anxiety or even get addicted to drugs and alcohol. They have it backwards. The reason young men suffer from depression, anxiety, addiction to drugs and alcohol and other emotional problems is precisely because they ain't getting any. The only time a young man is depressed over an affair with a female teacher is when it ends.

But let me make it clear. Teachers should not have sexual relations with students, just as employees should not have sex in the workplace. But if it does happen it should be a matter of employment policy; that is to say, if they get caught the teacher should be fired just as employees would be fired. Certainly if Harriet from the secretarial pool was having at it with Melvin from accounting we would not even think that this was an issue for the courts to get involved - unless it wasn't consensual. Once that 15 year old boy willingly, eagerly, joyfully drops his pants it ceases to be a crime. Just my opinion. And if I were on the jury no female teacher (unless there was coercion) would ever be convicted of a crime for making a young man's dreams come true.

The two kinds of female predator? The first is a creature of fantasy from the young man's worst nightmare; the second kind is a creature of fantasy from his best dream.

The Guardian - Opinion, Extremism: the loser's revenge
Sexual deprivation may be a factor in the current wave of suicidal violence, unleashed by the Palestinian cause as well as revolutionary Islamism. The tantalising prospect of having one's pick of the loveliest virgins in paradise is deliberately dangled in front of young men trained for violent death. And even those who are not trained to kill and die often live in authoritarian societies in which sex before marriage is strictly forbidden, in which women outside the family home are not only supposed to be untouchable, but invisible. Access to MTV, the internet, DVDs and global advertising reinforces the notion that westerners live in a degenerate garden of sinful delights. This makes the lot of millions of young Arab men even harder to bear, and can provoke a mixture of rage and envy.
Once in a while, this rage will explode in carefully orchestrated orgies of violence. It is said that Mohammed Atta visited a striptease bar before crashing a plane into the Twin Towers. Perhaps he craved one nibble at the forbidden fruit before his earthly extinction. The fact that it was forbidden - repulsive but also terribly seductive - marked his view of women in general. He made it clear in his will that he did not want any women to defile his grave with their presence.

Again, this is not to say that sexual frustration or bitter misogyny leads directly to mass murder. If it did, we would live in a very dangerous world indeed. But they cannot be dismissed as factors. It has long been assumed that young men are better fighters when they are deprived of sex, like slavering dogs fighting in a pit.

CBS News, Female Sex Offenders: Double Standard?
Once an under-reported crime, cases of female sex offenders now make regular headlines, Koeppen says. But do the punishments fit the crimes?
"The reality is that they're just not going to be sentenced to the same kind of lengthy prison sentences that the men get," laments Tony Rackauckas, the District Attorney of Orange County, Calif.

He says he sees this double standard in the courtroom all the time.

One example: middle school teacher Sarah Bench-Salorio, convicted last year of sexually assaulting 11-, 12-, and 13-year-old boys. She faced more than 60 years behind bars. The judge gave her six.

"If she was a male teacher, I don't think she'd ever see the light of day again," Rackauckas says.
