I’m not sure there’s not a little bit of er.. I want to say hypocrisy, for want of a better word.
The reason I say this is because someone sparked off a question about the maths teacher and the 15 year old girl the other day which made me think am I, (or is this), a bit sexist in some way. Bear with me...
What the guy said was how differently would it be perceived if it was a 15 year old boy and a 30 year old women maths teacher instead? Let’s be honest now, lot’s of red-blooded regular not-peado guys would be thinking “go on my son!” or “that’s my boy!”.
For myself, speaking as a father, I would still be miffed but not half as miffed if it was my daughter instead of a son. I can’t explain it, I’m just being honest. (Sorry if this has already been said earlier in the million pages somewhere).
Yet more honesty... Speaking as someone who lost his virginity late in life and went to a single sex school, when I was fifteen I would have welcomed the one and only woman in our school, (an English teacher), giving me a grope or 'five knuckle shuffle'.
I’m not belittling this case or trying to be facetious! But I do happen to believe it would be seen differently if the genders were transposed.
