This is too much. Don't get me wrong, but this is taking "political correctness" to a new level even though I can understand the woman's "uneasiness" over the situation (if true).
If you like the idea of a "nanny state," then you will love the potential of what this train passenger incurred via the "wrath of the government." If you love, understand, appreciate and savor freedom, then you will understand why we need to stop this insanity for it will be here, in this country/your country before to long...
Now (no pun intended), go to jail for looking.
Sick, sick, sick.

LECCO, Italy (Reuters) - An Italian man was given a suspended jail sentence for staring too intensely at a woman sitting in front of him on a train.
A judge sentenced the man in his 30s, whose name was not revealed, to 10 days in prison and a 40 euro ($63) fine after a 55-year old woman filed a complaint for sexual harassment.
His lawyer said on Friday he would appeal the sentence. The court will explain its verdict later.
The two met on two separate occasions in 2005 on a commuter train going from Lecco, a town in northern Italy, to Milan.
The first time, the man sat next to the woman but she felt he had moved too close for comfort. The next day, the man sat in front of the same woman and according to her complaint, stared at her for the whole journey.
The two did not speak.

What about the woman's right to ride the train without being made to feel uncomfortable by being ogled by a total stranger?

I agree with you, MaritimeGuy.
However, what's to prevent any woman (or guy) to make the complaint about YOU?
Think about it.
Do you know how much it costs to defend oneself in a court of law?
You can't tell me that you have never looked at a woman (or a guy if homosexual).
Grant it, most of us avert our eyes when confronted, but then again, we are told that if the woman likes it, it is OK.
Would it make any difference if the woman was wearing see through or cropped clothing? What about if she was purposefully wearing a low cut blouse that showed off ample cleavage?
Where do we draw the line?
Me? Any unwanted touching, but then again, we have the same problems. When did the unwanted touching start? After her zipperless f uck (not trying to be gross here, but I personally have experienced this).
Just when and why can a woman say no, but a man cannot?
No. No matter how uncomfortable for a woman (or man-just ask SuperEric about this-he's stared at all the time and it is not comfortable for him), that is NOT the line to draw in the sand...

Like most things in life the interpretation of how far is too far is problematic. I believe all of us at one time or another have sneaked a peek at an attractive member of the opposite sex. When someone's really hot we're likely to sneak more than one.
However to do so openly for an entire train ride? I have to agree that's going too far.
It must be a European thing. 20 years ago in Europe my ex had the same thing happen to her. The guy openly leared at her the whole train ride even grabbing his crotch and sticking his tongue out at her.

Problematic, I agree.
Uncomfortable, I agree.
But, to live in a free society, one has to accept things like this and try not put themselves into such situations.
How? Like you said, problematic.
But, the person did not do anything to the woman, except stare.
There is no law to take such pictures of a situation like this. So, why should there be a punishment?
We have to draw that line in the sand someplace, but surely waaaaay beyond staring.

When a person is looking at 5 or more years in jail, it is so much easier and less costly to just plea bargain. This is how it works in most countries. Plea bargain or pay the money (at least $25,000 to defend oneself and easily over $300,000).
How often have you sat some place thinking your thoughts and not realizing that you could be accused of staring when you were not, nor even thinking about the person in your general line of vision?
No. This is wrong.
It is wrong to purposefully stare, but wrong from a criminal viewpoint. Nope. Never. It is just too easy for some butch cut, 5 X 5 femin-azi to make false allegations just because she does not like men and practices misandry in her day to day life like so many of the femin-azi PIGS of this site.

Who would stare at such a woman anyhow? ;-)
Seriously though, are you suggesting any law that has the potential to be abused should be struck down? That would eliminate pretty much every law on the books.
There's always going to be people out there on all sides that abuse the law. However that doesn't make the principle any less valid.
The guy should have used an iota of common sense and kept his staring discreet. Then it's a win win all around. He can fantasize about her while she's blissfully unaware.

It's not like we don't understand (if the woman is telling the truth), but you have defeated your own argument, MaritimeGuy.
We don't know enough of the facts to really come to a clear conclusion. But, we do know that however uncomfortable it is to be stared at, it is just plain wrong to lock some guy up for looking in the direction of a woman as he is thinking about a math problem, the fight he had with his stbx and etc.
No. Staring, no matter how comfortable, brings in the "thought police" and that is a barrier we should not cross...

Well I think we disagree on this one. No shame in that...that's what a free society is all about.
I'm afraid though you guys are just going to have to get used to it cause that's the direction we're headed. Like it or not.

The title of this forum is called Men's Rights.
If you have not noticed, when not attacked in other forums, our rhetoric is quite different from this forum.
We like to think that in a Men's Rights forum that we can be blunt, to the point and complain about the atrocities perpetuated upon the male gender.
Kinda like a "guys only" place to bi tch and moan.
I know that I don't like having to have to watch what I state in a Men's environment.
And, bottom line? The Men's Rights forum in my opinion should be like the above and more importantly, a place where we can share what is going on in the world and counter "the direction that we are headed whether or not we like that direction (and we don't).
Read the UPREPA proposal, get on the band wagon and help stop these atrocities that the black robes of mommy court order via governmental intrusion to not only erode, but erase our God given rights as immortalized in our Constitution (or similar documents of all so called, "free nations.").
We post stuff like this not to complain, but to incite others into action to either join us or join a group that is more in line with their thinking, but to change the laws as we continually sink into Orwellian double speak.

Atrocities perpetuated against the male gender. You've got to be kidding. We white males run the world. We earn higher pay and get all the good promotions. If you can't thrive under those conditions I think you have to start looking inwards.

See? I know that you have taken the extreme, the outrageous, to make it irony/satire humor.
It's a shame that that femin-azis don't understand that type of humor. If they did, we could probably all "just get along..."

Perhaps he was merely trying to determine if she may have been a long-lost relative, and if the woman had only shown enough respect for the man--and not automatically assumed that he was fantasizing about her sexually--she could have simply asked him about it and the matter would have been resolved one way or another. But no, women in Western society have become conditioned to believe that all men are sex starved, crazed beasts, who will attack them given the slightest opportunity, and to always assume the worst about them. Much of this derives from the relentless, greed-driven concentration of the media on reporting sex "crimes" even when the alleged crime (as this one) are only THOUGHT crimes but without proof of even what the man was thinking!
When will we draw a line against the ever increasing popularity of disparaging male nature in such ways and portraying men as useless dogs who are only any good for being lured into marriages to become slaves of their wives, or being baited, by sexually oriented advertising, into whatever other activity creates profit for these same forces which shape our culture so as to benefit and profit from all of the circumstances I have mentioned?!

Male rape victims left to suffer in silence PRINT FRIENDLY EMAIL STORY
The World Today Archive - Friday, 9 February , 2001 00:00:00
Reporter: Nicole Johnston
Refocuses COMPERE: And in an unrelated matter, a special research project in Victoria has shown that male rape victims don't receive the same level of support and counselling as females in the circumstances. One hundred and twenty survivors of rape took part, many of them told the researchers that serious sexual assaults go unreported because accessible services for men simply are not available.
But there's an additional factor, as Nicole Johnson reports for us, men often avoid telling anyone because the courts and community still misunderstand male rape.
NICOLE JOHNSON: Melbourne psychologist Dr Sarah Crome says for every reported case of male rape, there are another 10 that go unreported. She says this is because social progress is 40 years behind in the area of male rape, and men are treated differently by the courts.
SARAH CROME: First of all, there's not much known about the crime. There's not much information recorded and it's quite difficult to understand and respond effectively and helpfully to a man in distress. And it can be quite threatening in a court room situation to male staff, which often court rooms are dominated by.
And given that the whole system's based around patriarchal, the man at the top of the family ideology, it can be quite threatening to those people. And they can actually be quite punitive or punishing to the victim basically, because of their gender.
And a lot of those things associated with being a macho man where you're in control, you can protect yourself, you're quite tough, all those kinds of almost fantasies about who you are suddenly fall down.
NICOLE JOHNSON: In that case, how should the legal system be changed when it's dealing with male rape victims?
SARAH CROME: First of all it needs to use its own research to look at what information there is about managing male victims. It also needs to reach out to the scientific community to access that research, use research into female rape victims responses and experiences.
They also need to encourage men, well men themselves need to encourage their own lobby movement and start coming forward and talking about how they need to be treated and supported rather than transplanting a model that suits women onto them. So it needs to come from the male community, because we don't want to undermine all the work females have done and other men, in supporting their plight.
COMPERE: Sarah Crome is a Melbourne psychologist, and she was speaking with Nicole Johnson.

You should know better, spinnerde potti mouth!
If anyone has an answer to your outrageous accusations, SuperEric, the leader of F IRM, can counter anything that you or your fellow femin azi PIGS can state.
We all know that women are by far, the abusers in regards to children. We all know that women by far, are the agressors in domestic violence (up to 75% now (from 51%)).
And, we all know, that women are far surpassing the rape of our children:
The big list: Female teachers with students
Most comprehensive account on Internet of women predators on campus

© 2008 WorldNetDaily.com
Here is a list of the teacher 'sexpidemic' cases WND has documented where female teachers have been accused, or convicted, of assaulting students:
Abbie Jane Swogger
Abbie Jane Swogger, 34: Teacher's aide at Highlands Senior High School in Harrison, Pa., was arrested Feb. 22, 2008, for renting a hotel room where police found beer, marijuana, an open condom wrapper and at least four teenage girls and boys, including several of her 15-year-old son's friends. Though categorically denying rumors she was having sex with students from the school, Swogger was quoted as saying, "I was stupid, very stupid. I already know I was and I can understand you looking at me wrong. It's the biggest mistake I ever made in my whole life." Police allege Swogger "asked or encouraged" two 15-year-old runaway girls to have sex with her. According to a police papers, Swogger admitted to having sex with a 17-year-old boy and asked police, "How serious is that?" The one-time exotic dancer resigned Feb. 25, 2008.
Adrianne Hockett: Accused of having sex with a 16-year-old special-needs student in a Houston apartment she rented for the get-togethers. The boy has testified the pair would "have sex, drink beer and smoke weed."
Alison Mosbeck
Alison Mosbeck, 33: History teacher at Dueitt Middle School in the Spring, Texas, school district was arrested Oct. 26, 2007, for allegedly having intercourse at least three times with one of her students, a 14-year-old boy. The mother of one of the students' friends saw text messages from Mosbeck on the student's cellphone and alerted authorities.
Allenna Ward
Allenna Ward, 24: Minister's daughter from Laurens County, S.C., was a second-year teacher at Bell Street Middle School in Clinton, S.C., when she was fired Feb. 28, 2007, for allegedly having sex with at least five boys. Some of the purported victims, ages 14 and 15, were students at Ward's school. Authorities say the married woman had sex with the boys not only on campus, but also at a motel, in a park and behind a restaurant. On Sept. 6, 2007, Ward pleaded guilty to six charges – three second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor and three lewd acts on a minor. "Today, I publicly admit my guilt and would like to apologize. I sincerely apologize for the effects of my actions," she told the court. On Feb. 19, 2008, she was sentenced to six years in prison.
Amanda Athey
Amanda Athey, 27: Charged Aug. 8, 2007, in Huntersville, N.C. with three counts of indecent liberties with a female student and one count of sexual activity with a female student. The relationship came to light when the girl's father became suspicious of the Hopewell High School English teacher's friendship with his daughter. She had told the father she was married to a man named Cal but after her arrest, it came to light she lived with another woman named Callie.
Amanda Miner
Amanda Miner, 28: Substitute teacher in Jefferson County, Mo., arrested in November 2007, charged with one count each of statutory sodomy and statutory rape. A male high-school student, 16, alleged he had sex with Miner on three occasions at her home. He said Miner invited him over to play video games, and that the two later would have sex.
Amber Jennings, 31: Though Jennings was initially charged with having sex with a 16-year-old, the counts against the Sturbridge, Mass., woman were reduced to a single charge of disseminating harmful materials to a minor. She reportedly admitted e-mailing naked photos of herself to a former student. She received no jail time, only two years of probation after pleading guilty in September 2005.
(Story continues below)
Amber Marshall
Amber Marshall, 23: Northwest Indiana woman allegedly had sexual contact, including intercourse, with several students at Hebron High School, and turned herself into authorities, telling police she knew what she did was illegal.
Amira Sa'Di, 30: Clayton County, Ga., math teacher at Mundy's Mill High School was arrested and charged with sexual assault of a student in November 2005. She reportedly remarked she didn't think her relationship was inappropriate based on her Internet research, learning Georgia's age of consent is 16.
Amy Bramhall, 33: Education technician was arrested in January 2006 after a 15-year-old boy at the alternative education school in Warren, Maine, told police he had an ongoing sexual relationship with her. Flirting allegedly eventually led to an estimated 200 sexual encounters. In December 2006, she received three and half years in prison, with all but one year suspended, and four years probation.
Amy Lilley
Amy Gail Lilley, 36: Inverness, Fla., woman and softball coach at Lecanto High School charged with a lesbian relationship with a 15-year-old girl. She received no prison time, being sentenced in January 2006 to two years of house arrest and eight more years of probation.
Amy McElhenny
Amy McElhenney, 25: Charged with having a sexual relationship with an 18-year-old male student, the 25-year-old Hebron High School Spanish teacher and former Miss Texas contestant will not be serving any jail time after a Denton County, Texas, grand jury refused to issue an indictment in September 2006. While the age of consent in Texas is 17 years, a state law bans sexual relationships between educators and students even if the student is of legal age and the relationship is consensual. She could have faced 20 years in prison if indicted and convicted.
Angela Christine Coffey
Angela Christine Coffey, 34: Cheerleading coach and English teacher at Meadowcreek High School in Norcross, Ga., gave birth to a baby girl in April 2007 following what police called a consensual relationship with a 17-year-old student. The former student declined to cooperate with prosecutors and has visited Coffey in jail since she pleaded guilty July 27 to sexual assault on a person in custody, jail records show. "It was only a crime because of the status of the victim – student-teacher," Coffey's attorney said.
Angela Comer
Angela Comer, 26: Middle-school teacher from Tompkinsville, Ky., fled with her alleged lover, her 14-year-old male student, before being tracked down in Mexico where she reportedly planned to marry the boy. Comer later claimed she was forced at gunpoint by the boy to go to Mexico. She was indicted in January 2006 for illegal sex acts with a minor and returned to Kentucky. Charges included felony custodial interference, two counts of third-degree sodomy and four counts of unlawful transaction with a minor relating to sexual acts. On May 9, 2007, Comer pleaded guilty to one-count of third-degree sodomy, and was slated to serve 10 years in prison as part of a plea agreement.
Angela Stellwag
Angela Stellwag, 24: Delran, N.J., woman accused of having sex in her apartment with a 14-year-old boy she met in school. She was charged with sexual assault for activity that allegedly took place in August 2004. She pleaded not guilty in August 2006.
Anne Knopf
Anne Knopf, 39: Former substitute teacher at Prescott Middle School in Wisconsin was charged Nov. 5, 2007, with sexual assault of a child under 16. She is accused of having a sexual relationship with the 13-year-old former boyfriend of her own daughter.
Becci Hill
Becci Hill, 31: Martinsville, Ind., counselor at Sanders School in Wayne Township arrested in 2006 for for sexual activity with a 15-year-old autistic boy. Prosecutors say what started as a mentor relationship turned into a sexual liaison that lasted a year. Hill would allegedly park her car down the street from the boy's home, and he would climb out his window to meet her in the middle of the night. In January 2007, Hill pleaded guilty to sexual misconduct with a minor, and was given a two-year prison sentence and forced to register as a sex offender.
Beth Raymond, 31: Private-school employee from Pownal, Maine, charged with risk of injury to a minor and second-degree sexual assault of a juvenile male at Eagle Hill School in Greenwich, Conn. In July 2006, she was sentenced to 18 months prison.
Bethany Sherrill, 24: Daughter-in-law of school-board president charged with molesting a 15-year-old middle-school student. Reports state Sherill allegedly had oral sex with the boy and sent him coded text messages. She resigned her position at Jefferson Elementary School in Farmington, Mo., in February 2005 and eventually received 90 days in jail and two years probation, and was forced to register as a sex offender.
Brandy Lynn Gonzales
Brandy Lynn Gonzales, 27: The Houston-area teacher and her husband were arrested in December 2006 for sexually assaulting students at an elementary school two years earlier. Prosecutors allege that Gonzales met a student at a local movie theater, where she performed oral sex on the boy as well as another student at the theater. Husband Johnny Gonzales is also charged with having performed sex acts with one teen. Prosecutors told the judge they have sufficient evidence to file further charges.
Brenda Baillargeon
Brenda Baillargeon, 39: Teacher's aide in the Amery School District of Polk County, Wis., charged in November 2007 with having sex with a 16-year-old male student. The illicit seven-month sexual relationship with the high-school student she tutored included road trips and sneaking into his home in the early-morning hours for sex, according to the criminal complaint. She was his first love, and they planned to be married after she got a divorce, court records stated.
Cameo Patch
Cameo Patch, 29: Substitute teacher at Tooele High School in Tooele, Utah, arrested for allegedly performing oral sex on a 17-year-old male student. The sexual activity was allegedly consensual, and reportedly took place off school grounds after the pair had exchanged phone numbers in a restaurant. In November 2006, Patch was sentenced to no jail time, despite comments from the judge that a man would have likely gone to prison.
Carol Flannigan
Carol Flannigan, 50: Boca Raton, Fla., music teacher reportedly slept with 11-year-old former student, and also had a simultaneous sexual relationship with the boy's father. In a deposition, the boy's father said he had the same sort of sexual relationship with Flannigan that ex-President Bill Clinton had with Monica Lewinsky. In February 2006, Flannigan was sentenced to five years prison as part of a plea deal.
Carrie McCandless
Carrie McCandless, 29: The former Colorado social-studies teacher, who also happens to be married to the principal, was charged in November 2006 with having had sexual contact with a 17-year-old male student during an overnight school camping trip. The instructor, who also coached cheerleading, pleaded guilty April 24, 2007, to felonies of tampering with physical evidence and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. She also pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor of unlawful sexual contact with a minor. She was not expected to serve any jail time.
Carrie O'Conner
Carrie O'Conner, 33: Counselor at Montgomery County High School in Mount Vernon, Ga., arrested Aug. 13, 2007, for allegedly having sex with a 16-year-old male student. The relationship is said to have lasted from January through July. According to police, the abuse was first reported in March 2007 to a teacher and a probation officer, but they were reportedly reluctant to inform the superintendent because O'Conner is the superintendent's daughter.
Cathy Heminghaus
Cathy Heminghaus, 46: Special-education teacher from Ferguson, Mo., charged with statutory sodomy involving at least three of her students at Ferguson Middle School. She reportedly told friends she had performed oral sex on the children on several occasions in 2005. On July 9, 2007, she pleaded no contest Monday to 25 counts; 21 of them involving statutory sodomy.
Celeste Emerick, 32: Police in Huber Heights, Ohio, say the Wayne High School teacher hosted a party where students were shown pornography. Prosecutors charged her with one count of sexual battery, a felony in Ohio.
Christel C. Gravlin
Christel C. Gravlin, 33: The Lisbon High School teacher from St. Lawrence County, N.Y., was arraigned Dec. 10, 2007, on charges of rape 3rd degree, criminal sex act 3rd degree and endangering the welfare of a child after allegedly having intercourse with a 15-year-old male student. Allegations became known after an incident at a high school basketball game on Nov. 30th when Gravlin, a married mother of two and former beauty queen, made statements about an affair to a group of students and others who were sitting near her. On March 3, 2008, she pleaded guilty to a felony charge of third-degree rape, and was slated to receive a sentence of no more than six months in jail followed by ten years probation.
Christina Gallagher, 26: Jersey City, N.J., woman received no jail time, but was ordered to pay more than $1,000 in fines, sentenced to a lifetime registration as a convicted sex offender and ordered to attend therapy for having sex with a 17-year-old student in late 2004. The former Rahway High School instructor was banned from teaching and seeing the student with whom she had sex.
Christine Duda, 39: Teacher at the Normandy Alternative School in St. Louis County, Mo., allegedly took a 16-year-old hearing-impaired male student to her home for sex in December 2005. She was charged with two counts of felony statutory rape and fired by the school district.
Christine Scarlett, 36: English teacher at Strongsville High School in Ohio began a sexual relationship with the 17-year-old captain of the football team, Steven Bradigan, in November 2002 and eventually gave birth to Bradigan's son. Scarlett was fired from her teaching job, but insists nothing improper happened during the time she was Bradigan's teacher. She was never charged with any criminal wrongdoing.
Christine Spaich
Christine Spaich, 28: Teacher and volleyball coach at Silverado Middle School in Roseville, Calif., arrested April 6, 2007, for alleged unlawful intercourse with a minor and other related charges. Police say Spaich had a six-month relationship with a 16-year-old boy identified as a former student at her school. Detectives said the relationship appeared to be consensual and that the boy was not forced. Spaich entered a "no contest" plea July 3, 2007, and was sentenced to four months in jail, four years probation and 400 hours of community service. An application for alternative sentencing could let the teacher avoid jail time altogether.
Christy Anne Brown
Christy Anne Brown, 33: English teacher at Cyprus High School in West Valley City, Utah, was arrested July 8, 2007, for allegedly having sex with one of her students, a boy of 16. A police officer found her in a parked car along with the boy, and told authorities she had been having relations with the juvenile for three months. "The suspect admits to having sex over 40 times. She also admitted to having oral sex with the juvenile at her home and also at work," the jail report stated.
Crystal Wells
Crystal Wells, 33: Teacher at Deming High School in northeastern Kentucky was sentenced to 5 years in prison April 14, 2008, for sex with a 15-year-old male student. She had been facing six counts of rape, but pleaded guilty to six felony charges of unlawful transaction with a minor. Family members reportedly found text messages on the boy's phone and felt they were indicative of a sexual relationship. "I have to treat this the same as I would a male teacher and a female student," Judge Robert McGinnis said. Wells' attorney stated the woman's marriage was falling apart and a divorce was pending.
Darcie Esson
Darcie Esson, 32: Parker, Colo., English teacher at Elizabeth High School was arrested in December 2006 for allegedly having sex with a 17-year-old football player the day after her divorce was finalized. According to the arrest affidavit, Esson and the teen had sex on the floor of her hotel room while her two children, ages 4 and 8, and their 17-year-old babysitter slept on beds in the same room. Esson was charged with sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust, a Class IV felony.
Dawn Welter, 38: Sumner, Wash., teacher at Tenino High School charged April 24, 2007, with second-degree sexual misconduct with a minor for allegedly spending the night with a 16-year-old girl at a motel. Charging papers state that on Feb. 17, Welter engaged in sexual contact with the teen.
Deanna Bobo
Deanna Bobo, 37: Special-education teacher at Raymond E. Wells Junior High School in Greenwood, Ark., allegedly had sex twice in 2005 with a 14-year-old boy in his own bed while his parents were not home. She denied the charge, but was convicted in September 2006 of two counts of first-degree sexual assault and sentenced to 12 years in prison.

Maybe the point though is the level of punishment for a woman is much different for those of men.

The percentage of clerical people who have molested children is NO higher than any other occupation. Just twisted by the media.

The point is though that Er!c here wants to negate the fact that reality dictates that men will rape women more than the opposite. There will never in our lifetime be a point where women have an equal or greater ability to rape men, it's not going to happen. He wants acknowledgement of the raping by women, but wants to dismiss those same acts that he knows men perpetrate at a much higher rate.
Personally regardless of who does it, it's disgusting. But in dealing with reality, this world isn't seeing women en masse rape men.

Just because there is LESS of them, that does not excuse the BLANTANT reduced sentences for women when convicted of the SAME crime as a man.
I REALLY think THAT was the point of the post.

We punish white men and women less than black men also. We shouldn't do that either, but it happens. The point is, life is unfair and unjust, and while one subgroup gets hosed in one area of life, they benefit in another. If people have issue with it, then they should take it up with the individual judges who administer the sentences since there is not any guidelines that state there should be discrepancies.
But then again, there aren't any guidelines that say my wife's coworkers should be paid much more than she is for the same job she does, but they are (even though she has higher qualifications, worked at the job longer, and has higher profile clients) Conversely, I know I get paid more than some of my female colleagues, who have much more experience than me, and I also know that even though we men only make up 6% of RN's, we make up 50% of administration. Does it benefit me? Yes. Does it discriminate against the majority of female employees? Yes, because I see it happen on a regular basis. Sh!t happens across the board to both men and women in varying areas. Er!c's lame attempts to paint it that only men get hosed in this world is myopic and has no merit. It's easy to cherry pick arguments where one can point on where men get hosed. But when Er!c ignores the majority of areas where men benefit much more than women, he's not looking at the whole picture, only what he wants others to see (and pretend they're too stupid or ignorant to figure it out)

Most of the cases cited by Er!c are not women raping men but rather women raping children.

I too saw the irony..but I too have strong opinions on this subject. It seems the ladies almost get away with it and are surely punished much less severely than men..
I'm sure Freud would have a lot to say if still alive..

...I MIGHT be able to deal with it. But it is the entire handling of the situations. Ever notice that when a MALE teacher messes with a female student, it is called rape. But when a WOMAN does it, it becomes "sexual misconduct". Almost like an "Oops, sorry {sheepish grin}" As though if it is a FEMALE child with a male offender, she is ruined for life, but switch the genders, and it is no big deal for the male child of the female predator. These male children are being HARMED by the societal refusal to accept that males CAN be raped, and male children CAN be molested.
Oddly enough, if a MALE adult molests a MALE child, he is considered harmed greatly, but if a FEMALE molests another female, all is okay.

The one that killed me was the really pretty one..I forget her name..blonde..looks like she belongs in Playboy..she got away with it..judge must of been wacking it behind the bench when he sentenced her..but you are 100% correct in the sexual misconduct thing..if a man does it, it's rape and horrible..if a woman does it, it's on TMZ
