I am saying that this is bizarre because I can’t really understand how one writes that a 20-year old man “began a sexual relationship” with a seven year old. This is not the worst thing about this opening. The worst thing is toward the end when it is implied that the seven-year old girl consented to sex. How do we know this? Terry told us. There would be something to be said for verification when practicing journalism, except that there’s no way to verify consent from someone who can’t give it.

Soft-Pedaling Child-Rape - Ta-Nehisi Coates - The Atlantic Gawker piece on pedophilia

A vague rape apologia runs through this piece—the implication of “men who have sex with children” as an oppressed group, the equation of pedophilia with other sexual orientations, and little to no consideration of victims. What bugs me is this is a topic that could use some mature journalism and thinking that goes beyond “hang them all.” (The talented Jennifer Gonnerman does it here.) But this isn’t it. It’s poor journalism, and an insensitive attempt at being edgy. 

WORD!

In the fantasy world of “barely legal” pornography, the teen girl is an ingénue longing for sexual initiation at the hands and body of an experienced older man. For an older man (the average male porn user is over 30) perhaps intimidated by the erotic and emotional demands of his own female peers, the imagined naïveté of a much-younger woman is a source of comfort. The less experience she has, the less likely she’ll mock his clumsiness and the more likely she’ll appreciate whatever savoir-faire he does possess. (from Why Do Men Love ‘Barely Legal’ Porn?)
Yet this is not true only for men. There is a batallion of women teachers jailed for having had sex with younger students:

A teacher who held sex and drugs parties at her home with underage teens has been jailed for ten years.

Sarah Jane Lindsay pleaded guilty to criminal sexual conduct and contributing to the delinquency of minors.
The 44-year-old staged summer sex parties at her home with her teaching colleague Audrey Beidleman Grabarkiewicz.
 (via Daily Mail)
A special education teacher has been accused of having sex with two under-age students and sending them over a dozen nude photos of herself.
Andrea Ebert is alleged to have told the teens they would not get caught if they stayed quiet about the affair.
‘If you keep your mouth shut, we don’t have anything to worry about,’ the 30-year-old is alleged to have told one of the boys.

Ebert, a divorcee, is alleged to have had sex with the teens at her home in Cameron, Wisconsin.
A 38-year-old teacher has been charged with raping a student under the age of 16.
Heather Whitten, a married mother of three, was arrested by police at the Alabama School where she was worked as a fifth grade reading teacher.

Police have released few details about the alleged rape but confirmed the victim was aged between 12 and 16 years of age.



We need to wake up and realize that there isn’t much difference between men’s and women’s desires. While men are more likely to act on them, women spend most of their youth defending against a never-ending wave of oversexed males. It’s only as they get older that their needs are less fulfilled.
