New warrant issued for female sex case teacher

Story here.

Here we go again! This sociological ignorance based on a young boys supposed "fantasy" regarding sex with a teacher is the definition of a double standard. The teacher is attractive, but its still rape. Having two sets of rules based on gender is an example of the judicial system's leniency regarding women who commit crimes.

Excerpt:
"A Larimer County judge has signed a new arrest warrant for Carrie McCandless after prosecutors alleged that the former Brighton Charter High School teacher contacted the alleged victim in her sexual assault case.
...
McCandless, 30, faces charges of sexual assault and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. She was ordered not to have contact with the alleged victim - a former student - or any other minors as a condition of her release on $20,000 bail."

So many females who are charges with having sex with teens and children act as if they have done nothing wrong and completely ignore the conditions that are imposed on them when they are released on ridiculously low bail amounts.

Perhaps because society and the courts don't take it seriously neither do they.

Since when has pop-culture and stereotypes every accurately reflected society? I don't care how many songs or movies are made about the subject, they are all based on myths and attempts to force males to comply to pre-conceived notions of what maleness should be in the eyes of primarily women and males who are willing to subjugate themselves to them and has nothing to do with what maleness is

But of course if we take males who were sexually assaulted seriously and offered them help and delivered justice to the ones that have harmed them then we'd end up with fewer angry males growing up hating women and turning into rapists because we told them they don't matter and allowed them to be used as a sex toy by a woman when they were young.

If we can look at a boy and think of him as being the real perpetrator in a sexual assault by an adult woman then how can we ever view adult males as equally human to females?

It's not just adult men who our society doesn't give a shit about, we don't even care about male children. We don't even care about protecting our sons.

So many here are concerned with fathers rights, but how can fathers have rights when we aren't even willing to give our sons human rights yet? When a boy is raped by a woman everyone takes it as a joke, and then wonders why the boy needs to be subpoenaed to show up in court! If you thought you'd be told the woman who used you as a human dildo would be treated like the real victim and you'd be told you got lucky would you want to go to court? Or would you take the fact that she's still calling you and ignoring her bail conditions (and the fact that she got bail in the first place) as a sign that the courts don't take the situation seriously?

Are we helping young boys with our current system or just further reinforcing in their minds old stereotypes about males and maleness and telling them that they really don't matter anyway?

Maybe when the war is over we'll start wringing our hands over this sort of crime, but I really think people in the general public are mystified and don't exactly know what to make of all the reports coming in. It's difficult to get your hands around something which isn't supposed to exist and for which you don't have the mental framework to comprehend.

I also think the women themselves don't really take the charges seriously, as you say Paragon. Besides being fed a steady diet of the Barbie Mantra (Girls Can Do Anything!) all their lives, they really seem to think they're above the law -- all those silly male ideas about 'justice'. In the Mary Kay Letourneau case, she certainly held fast to the idea that 'love' gave her a legit license to do whatever the hell she felt like. Women really do get pretty much a free pass in this society when it comes to matters of the heart.

An aspect of the problem I haven't seen addressed has to do with our stereotyped impression of school teachers as being old battle-axes, whereas many of these perps seem to be young and not bad-looking. In short, they don't fit the common perception of what a teacher is supposed to look like.

I think this points to a real shift in who's going into teaching. It used to just be women by and large who weren't pretty enough to snag a bread-winning husband who could make it possible for his wife to go the normal route of stay-at-home-mom who went into teaching, whereas nowadays it's a more representative subset of the female population. In past times, the only women who worked were those who either didn't marry, were young and not married yet, or had married a lower quality man which made it a neccesity for their wives to work. We all know how that's changed over the last several decades. So it also used to be that elementary school was the province of female teachers, whereas in junior high and high school the teacher population was significantly if not entirely male -- yet another argument for doing something to get more guys going into the profession.

Combine that with turnover rates of something like 20% in the first few years, and you've got many more younger and decent looking gals in the classroom.

I'm not buying that. I know society places far to much value on youth and physical appearance, but I am not ready to say that either of those are the cause of the problem of females engaging young males in criminally inappropriate sexual behaviors.

I was in grade school in the early 80's and I still remember my first grade teacher - who was a young attractive brunet and effectively was my first crush - who was a huge influence in what I find appealing in a woman, and led females who shared characteristic with her were the ones I was most interested in dating in later years. That's natural. The early years really do influence our choices later in life and we really do seek out others who share characteristics with those who were kind and caring to us in our youth. We define what we will later see as beautiful by the people around us in our early years.

What's unnatural is when a teacher crosses the line and interprets a students affections as a free pass to use them to fulfill their own desires. A child's crush does not give an adult the right to use that child for sex. Yes, human beings are sexual creatures from birth, but sexuality is different at each stages of life and childhood exploration and experimentation is not the same as teen aged sexuality or adult sexuality.

I would go so far as to say this problem is not new - in fact has been going on as long as there have been children and adults on Earth - and the only new aspect of it is that female teachers inappropriate sexuality is gaining media attention. I would attribute this mostly to an unforeseen side affect of feminist inspired laws and policies more then anything else. The definition of rape is lost to society (all meaning is effectively gone), and the term that replaced it in our vocabulary, sexual assault, never had a definition in the first place. Women are only now just accidentally getting caught in the net.

I find it as disturbing that our focus is exclusively on female teachers as well. Female sexuality is at least as broad ranging as male sexuality. That includes sexual deviance from social norms. Hell, most of societies definitions of female sexuality are not only inaccurate they are completely and utterly false. Female pedophiles come in just as many flavors as male pedophiles. In other words, there are female pedophiles who exist outside of the teaching profession and are abusing children in huge varieties of ways at all ages. Just like men.

The only difference is society has deemed it inappropriate to openly discuss female sexuality. It is that absolute height of rudeness to inquire upon a woman about her sexual activities. We just don't ask. It's deemed improper and embarrassing for a female to have to recall such things. This, coupled with the myths about female character and women's much greater unsupervised interaction with children, makes it infinitely easier for women to hide their deviant behavior. We haven't even made a scratch on the surface of female sexuality in general and deviant behavior with regards to children. The babysitter, Grandma, The favorite Aunt, the lady next door etc, are all capable and are in fact sometimes sexually abusing children. It's not just that pretty young teacher.
