Chicago Tribune Columnist Downplays Pedophilia by Women

chicago joe writes "I just read one of the most disturbing commentaries co-authored by Eric Zorn and Mary Schmich of the Chicago Tribune. It was an opinion piece asking the question,"Is sex with teens different if adult is a woman?" This is concerning the recent arrest of a teacher in the Chicago area who is accused of having sex with three of her male teenage students. Both writers agreed that it is not the same. They essentially said female pedophilia is OK! Eric Zorn wanted to know why the boys were not suspended because "they should have known better", and he diminished the felony charges because it is "every teenage boy's fantasy." Mary Schmich states that men are predators when engaging in sex with underage girls, but women are innocent because they are "just having relationships" with young boys. The Chicago Tribune is owned by the powerful media giant Tribune Co, owners of many media outlets and also owners of the Chicago Cubs. This should be an embarrassment to them."
