There are few areas in which gender double standards are so evident as when teachers sexually assault their students. Our thanks to Martin for pointing us to this. One of her victims was just 15, below the legal age for consent in Georgia (16). The strongest language in the CNN article relating to her alleged behaviour is to be found in a statement made by the school, which apparently considers the behaviour ‘inappropriate conduct by an employee’. Well, thanks for that.

Justice for Men & Boys 
I think that we would all agree that Jack the Ripper’s behaviour was ‘inappropriate’ too.
So glad to see the school condemning her behaviour in no uncertain terms.

The reason for such whopping double standards regarding the condemnation of men and women originates in the social norms of gentlemanly conduct. All assumptions that women are sacrosanct,that women need to be treated more leniently and with special privilege come down to the gentleman’s mindset. The only way to eliminate these blatant and unfair double standards in western societies today is to completely re-examine the merits of extending women such undeserved,pedestalized treatement in society. It goes without saying that the women of today are not above even some of men’s worst behaviour anymore,thus undeserving of preferential treatemnt,by the society at large or the justice system.
