A man can't consent when he's drunk either.

This is why I always say that women have a huge advantage over men in any conflict like this.

If you don't believe me...Well, when female teachers rape their male students, nothing happens, same crime committed by a male teacher, instantly sends that male teacher to jail.

Bullshit.

For one thing, they're arrested all the time and a Google would have shown you that.

For another, this poster was from 2008 and discontinued quickly.

And then someone operating a 1 day old account dug it up and posted it here to trigger outrage. One has to wonder about the motivations of the individual who resurrected this flamebait...

A shocking number of upvotes too.

I mean, it is funny as shit that someone seriously thought this was okay to print on a poster much less present to the public.

Fifteen years ago. Christ, can't we at least limit ourselves to flamebait from the past decade?

[–] yamanii@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

to be fair, that's enough time to introduce a whole new generation to the ragebait.

True, there's a lot of 17 year old edgelords right now that were playing with their little toy cars and trucks in their parent's basement when this bait first landed on Reddit...

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 21 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Yeah that's not true. Female teachers absolutely go to prison for that.

[–] dankm@lemmy.ca 5 points 9 months ago

Yep, there used to be truth to it, and there still is work to do, but a lot has changed in the last decade or so.

Its funny how we can, in fact, recognize an obvious power imbalance with age or bureaucratic station.
