[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Concerning archaic views of women and girls, the more things change, the more things stay the same. [/quote]

I don't think this is the sole issue.

I think this is a result of giving younger and younger kids more legal rights with regards to sexuality.  When is the age of consent?  When is a young girl allowed to receive birth control, abortions, etc with out any parent knowledge or consent?  In some cases, as young as 12 for the latter.

I think that treating children as legal adults when it comes to sex, even in some circumstances, and putting a barrier between responsible parenting and the child, creates a situation where creeps and perverts are able to get away with taking advantage of children.

This is an understanding of consent I have not yet heard before.

I mean, I have heard that wearing a short skirt equals consent. And that being married equals consent. But a 12-year-old girl being able to get contraception without her parents' permission equals consent for all girls everywhere? That one's new.[/quote]

Gee willickers people
The pp is not excusing the behaviour.
I believe what they are saying it is giving the freaks a legal "in".
A way to say hey  ' 12 yr old is old enough to take birth control w/out permission, so she is old enough to give consent.
It is the proverbial slippery slope.
I for one think there is no excuse and no justification for what this teacher and the judge did.
I think it is abhorrent, but I do agree with the pp.
We as a society as a whole are sexualizing our kids too early and before they are ready and then the freakzoids are ready to swoop in and take advantage.
And before I get blamed, I am not blaming the victim, I am blaming society!![/quote]
