Why do you think there is a rasing trend in female sex offenders?

Question

More female teachers charge with having sex with their underaged male students. Why is this happening?

Self praise no recommendation jonmc49!!

Also there appears to be a view that male school teachers are using force and females school teachers are not? In my research Mako Files there appears to be different types of sentencing for male offenders and female offenders for similar crimes.

Answer 1

Excellent question.

Some excellent, and correct answers below.

The truth is, more sex-offenses against men are being reported, and especially against boys, than ever before. This is an extension of all the work that started with trying to open the eyes, ears, and minds of the world to all types of abuse.

The truth is that until very, very recently, people did not want to believe that:
a) there was such a thing as rape, between married couples;
b) adult men could be raped at all;
c) women were capable of being sex-offenders;
d) women were capable of preying upon children.

a) I don't know about the UK, but most States in the US now have 'Marital Rape' laws on the books. Most domestic abuse situations involve forced sex. This is being ever more widely recognised.

b) Anyone who knows anything about the history of prisons, navies, monasteries, Knights Templar, knows that adult men can indeed be forcibly sodomised. In fact, most of the men who do the forcing would strongly deny 'homosexuality'. Same-sex rape, like all rape, is NOT about sex. It is about power. The fact that genitalia are involved confuses people, and always has done.
Men, like women, can experience sexual arousal during rapes, because those parts of the body were DESIGNED to feel GOOD. That does not mean the act was consensual, on the man's part, even if he had an erection and even ejaculated.
The stigma around homosexuality, and the image of 'masculinity' have kept most adult men who are raped from coming forward. It would be far too humiliating, for most men, to recount being sexually used, on a witness-stand. If the offender was male, there is often a homophobic terror of being seen as being gay. No one knows how many adult men are raped every year.
The statistics on boys are pretty much the same as those on girls: between one third and one half of all minor children is sexually abused before the age of 18. These figures have emerged from clinicians' statistics. Police reports are fewer than one tenth of all assaults. The clinicians' statistics are gathered from adults, by and large. That suggests there has not been any 'increase' in incidence. We've only started to put the data together.

c) Queen Victoria made sexual relations between men illegal, but lesbian sex has never been illegal by UK law, because 'what would they do?' The andro-centric (male dominant) notion that 'sex acts' require a penis, or penis-substitute is a false premise that made people not think of women as potential sex-offenders.
Only since the 1980s (USA) and later (Western Europe) has the concept of 'child sexual abuse' brought forward female offenders against boys. Time was, not long ago, when a boy of 10 being fondled by a female adult, would have considered himself 'getting lucky'. He also wouldn't talk about it.
Once children started being taught about 'inappropriate touching', boys started coming forward, and their parents started taking the sexual abuse of boys seriously.
Female offenders comprise a very unreliable statistic (somewhere between 10% -30%) of sex-offenders against children.
There are not enough data to know what percent of offenders against adult men are female, but the last clinical statistic I saw, in the '90s, suggested 1% or fewer. I do not believe that. I think most adult men would just rather believe it was consensual, than admit to having been raped by a woman.
Women are thought to comprise about 10% of all rapists in same-sex adult rapes. Again, the data are weak. Contexts from women's prisons to psychiatric facilities, to lesbian nightclubs... a fellow female inpatient attempted to rape me, when I was a psychiatric inpatient, early in 2005. How therapeutic.

d) The overwhelming majority of known sex-offences by women are upon their own children. This flies in the face of everything society has wanted to believe about 'mothers', about 'families', about 'women as victims', and about the 'safety' of children.
These offences fall into a few different categories:
1) Abused women forced to participate in child sexual abuse by dangerous, sociopathic men. I plead 'not guilty' for them, because these women do not have enough will left, to refuse, and their lives are literally at stake.
2) Possibly drug/alcohol addicted, usually young, single mothers, who were probably abused themselves as children, who want someone who loves them, unconditionally, and will not abandon or hurt them. These women are seriously judgement-impaired, and use their children to meet their own emotional and sexual needs. This is sad. It's also criminal.
3) Sociopathic women who were sexually abused as children, who prey upon children in the same way as male paedophiles. They pimp their children, and like any sociopath, are capable of anything, and should have the key thrown away.
4) Young women in positions of authority for which they are not sufficiently emotionally or psychologically mature, (teachers, coaches, counsellors) who need to be liked. If they're heterosexual (88% or so of women are), they try to be chums with their charges. If they are teaching senior-school, this means being mates with the girls, and flirting with the boys. These young women can't establish the necessary boundary between themselves and the kids with whom they work. If they are attractive, boys (and/or girls) will develop adolescent crushes. The intensity of adolescent adoration is difficult for most adults to fend off. An immature 23 year old does not stand a good chance.
Again, this has always happened. It is only now, in an atmosphere where we wouldn't tolerate a 23 year old male teacher having a 'love affair' with a 15 year old boy, that the young women are finally being called to account. In the old days, the lad would be the envy of his friends. Now, he's understood to be a victim.

I hope this was helpful. Most of my info is USA-based, and things are a bit behind, here in the UK, but they are catching up. Sadly, law enforcement and prison sentences are not.

Answer 2

I dont think there is a rising 'trend' in female sex offenders, so much as a rise in reporting them! There has always been sex offenders, male and female. This question was asked years ago, when it was becoming more and more public that sex abuse was actually going on in more and more homes. Now more victims are not going to sit tight and shut up. And good for them!!!!!

Answer 3

I dont imagine there's a starting to be 'kind' in lady sex offenders, a lot as an boost in reporting them! There has continuously been sex offenders, male and woman. this question change into requested years in the past, at the same time as it change into growing further and extra public that sex abuse change into truly happening in further and extra residences. Now better victims are not from now on going to sit down tight and close up. And sturdy for them!!!!!

Answer 4

This is the opinion of one expert. I hope you find this educational

"Such women represent about 10 percent of all sexual offenses, and their abuse often involves their own child or children. Some have only one victim, many have several. Psychologist A. J. Cooper cites a study that 20 percent of these sex offenders even resort to force. He points out that the reasons why some women become recalcitrant sex offenders is incompletely understood, but he feels that it may result from a combination of hyper sexuality, associations with early sexual experiences, and imitation of abuse perpetrated on them. They even tend to use the same forms of abuse that they had once experienced. Most of them are immature, dependent, and sensitive to rejection, so they tend to gravitate toward younger people who are not their peers. The risk of rejection is less likely and they create situations in which they can be in control.

In some cases, women who lacked ongoing relationships with men put their male children in the role of substitute lover, and there are cases in which the sexual contact is used as revenge against a male partner. These female perpetrators generally come from chaotic homes. "Not only does this have long term effects on the children," these researchers note, "but it also serves as a contagion that follows victims into the next generation with repetitious and cyclical traumatization of others.

Some of these women get involved with men who then use them in more serious crimes, although the majority of partners in murder appear not to have suffered abuse. How they get to the point of criminal behavior is more often influenced by how the partner treats them over a period of time."

Answer 5

I fully agree with you on the disproportion when it comes to female sex offenders. Society still views women as victims and not predators. There have been a few cases in the US where judges have thrown out cases refusing to believe that the adult female teacher raped a minor because it was consensual. When it comes to male predators, quite a number of female children they rape are in denial and view them as lovers but this is brushed aside. If we protect girls, why can't we do the same for boys? Also, I think more women are being charged now because society/the law is allowing them to be taken to court.

Answer 6

Because feminism is finally sowing the seeds planted long time ago.
Women nowadays are less affraid about their needs and desires.
I also see alot that women do not make political correct excuses or hide behind some ethical excuse they need for their deeds nomore.

With this development, I hope the world will finally see eye-to-eye
and realize women can be quite the pigs as well.
And men won't play dumb and be that overprotective anymore towards women.

It really would make a world of difference and all parties gain from it.

Answer 7

I think there is a different form of sentencing between men and women sex offenders because:

a) women are seen as less physically threatening

b) they generally do less damage and cause less trauma to their victims than men

c) most importantly, they are much, much less likely to re-offend after being caught and charged

Answer 8

Refer to my answer, and other good answers after mine, in the sociology section, where you have already asked this question.

PS If you think female teachers are using force against 14 and 15 year old boys, then there is no dissuading you from your delusions.

Answer 9

I know this may sound silly to you but I really think it is because teenage boys do not look like teen aged boys anymore! They look much more mature than their age and the teacher may be disillusioned that she has control of or being hit on by a real man but in actuality it is only a child. She may also feel deprived of love and attention and may not feel guilty seeing her student, who provides her with those things, because the child like features are not present to make her feel self conscious about being with that student. It's sad because they are suppose to be in school teaching and protecting students not molesting them.

Answer 10

its rising bc they are being reported for the first time, the social stigma of being molested by woman is wanning and proper action is finally being taken to prevent any further harm to our children.
all sex offenders should be locked into solitary confinment for life...thats how to stop that problem.
