Female Journalism: When women teachers abuse boys, it's women who are the victims.

[Syriusly]

No wonder female journalists have so much trouble earning respect, they constantly write about female perspectives rather than about the news or codes of behavior.

What's the issue of her op-ed? The never-ending stories about female teachers having sex with male students. Note her conclusion:

What is the issue?

More from her article:

I know what some of you are going to say. This is every boy’s fantasy, right? This case nearly broke the bro-verse section of the Internet. Men couldn’t get enough of the story. Twitter was full of them begging for a picture of her.

Whoa. Hold your horses, all you David Lee Roths. No matter how hot for teacher you are, what happened was wrong. And it’s more common than you think.

The most recent comprehensive study done on teacher-student sex was written 10 years ago. And author Charol Shakeshaft, a professor of education leadership at Virginia Commonwealth University, said she was surprised to learn that in a third of the cases she looked at, female teachers were the predators.

Their behavior is every bit as creepy as male teachers who prey on female students.

Symone Greene — who has pleaded not guilty — doesn’t fit the stereotype of an accused sexual predator. But what she allegedly did is just as dangerous

What about these boys — and according to Shakeshaft’s study, there are thousands of them — aren’t they victims?

They might be high-fiving their friends, but let’s not forget that many of them were manipulated and sometimes intimidated by an older person in a position of power. That’s never a good life lesson.

The Options football player now probably has an even more skewed view of what it takes to get a woman to pay attention to you.

This kind of crime creates unseen victims, too. The victims are countless other teachers whose students will read about this and be affected by it.

The victims are other boys who have had unrealistic expectations fueled and respect for women and teachers diminished.

The victims are women who are constantly fighting for the right to be respected, treated as authority figures and not perpetually sexualized, stereotyped and judged.

The victims are all of us.

^^^ Those who have inappropriate relationships with the kids in my opinion do not deserve any.

God bless you always!!!

oh i see. so you believe that a female teacher that has sex with an underage boy is indicative of all female teachers, and thus find them unworthy of respect.

I never said that they are all bad. Those who are the way that a teacher should be should never have to pay for what they don't have anything to do with.

God bless you and them always!!!

[ScienceRocks]

Women always get the double standard and the victim card. We now live within a society that HATES men....

Nothing else matters...Even if the male is the victim. Doens't fucking matter.

The left are fucking loons.

What's the issue of her op-ed? The never-ending stories about female teachers having sex with male students. Note her conclusion:

Think alleged sexual predator, and 22-year-old substitute teacher Symone Greene is not who comes to mind.

Take a look at her résumé. She’s a college graduate who has worked as a summer intern in the Prince George’s County Police Department, a camp counselor, an intern at a Baltimore school for children with disabilities and a leader of campus volunteer program at Coppin State University. She knows sign language, plays the piano, does ballet and jazz dancing. She wants to go to graduate school, she writes, “so that I can continue my studies and pursue a career in Special Education.”

But on a different piece of paper — a D.C. police arrest warrant — Greene is accused of having oral sex with a 17-year-old student at Options Public Charter School and then allegedly urging him to lie about it. . .

This kind of crime creates unseen victims, too. The victims are countless other teachers whose students will read about this and be affected by it.

The victims are other boys who have had unrealistic expectations fueled and respect for women and teachers diminished.

The victims are women who are constantly fighting for the right to be respected, treated as authority figures and not perpetually sexualized, stereotyped and judged.​

The cluelessness and parody inherent in this op-ed is quite thick

I think you're wrong on this one Rik. She isn't saying the woman who did the deed is a victim, she's saying other women who aren't doing wrong are.

She has a point.

You're not understanding MY point. In an article about a female teacher having sex with a male student she concludes that the victim is other women.

Let's try to apply this principle of journalism elsewhere. A male sports journalist writes about head injuries in football and concludes that men everywhere are the victims of football players who are too violent. A male reporter writing on a cruise line dumping sewage at sea concludes that all men are the victims of this practice because a male captain ordering the bilge pumps to be opened. A male journalist writing about Truman's decision to drop the bomb on Hiroshima concludes that the real victims here are men because a male President ordered a bomb dropped on a civilian population. A female pedestrian was run over by a male driver and a male reporter concludes that men are the real victims because society will see them as reckless drivers.

For some reason male reporters are able to remain professional and not turn stories around so that they end up focusing on how men are perceived in the world. Female reporters have a bad habit of turning the stories around so that they focus on some women's issue or perception of women or special plight of women or how society judges women or how social reforms should be instituted so that the reporter doesn't have to feel bad about her body issues or her career or her career/family balance.

Honestly, I'd LOVE to see a college football coach write something similar. "guys when you cheat and get caught , you give ALL of us a bad name, you aren't just cheating the boys , you are cheating all of us" why would that be wrong?

Why would that be wrong? Because you're contorting the scenario. It's not about a football coach, it's about a REPORTER. You know what reporters do? They REPORT. What's the story in the OP? A female teacher has sex with a male student. We don't need to be reading wishy-washy female centric fears about how this affects other women.

This mindset has long been observed, hence the jokes: A female NYT reports on a meteorite wiping out Boston and the headline reads "Women and children hardest hit."

What you've done is removed the reporter from the scenario, you know the person who is reporting the news, and now substituted a coach talking to his players, so when the reporter writes about that the reporter is now writing news - that talk the coach gave actually happened, so the reporter isn't being unprofessional.

Here's a handy suggestion for female reporters - always ask "Would a male reporter write that?" Would a male reporter writing about a female teacher having sex with a male student then devote a third of the column space to writing about unseen victims and worrying about how women are perceived in the world?

Look at her concluding line - "The victims are women who are constantly fighting for the right to be respected, treated as authority figures and not perpetually sexualized, stereotyped and judged." She does more to harm the reputation of women by being unprofessional in how she regularly executes her job than this one teacher did by exercising poor judgment. I can't respect a female journalist who injects women's issues into the reporting of a sex crime.

 

[jknowgood]

and....., on the other hand if the student is female and the teacher a male, the teacher would likely get life in prison !!

please. we all know that isn't true. women make the headlines, but how many high school girls out there do you think have or are sleeping with a teacher?

Probably lots of them, but if the female students out a male teacher for having sex, his ass is grassed.

No, I disagree. When in jail, his ass is fertilized frequently.

But our society does judge women by a different standard.

Her point that these events hurt other women and female teachers is a valid one. And the point that women are judged differently is a valid one.

 

[CherryPanda]

I don't like this kind of generalization.
I don't really think that all female journalists are that bad.
It's more about not very smart or dignified people using all means available to earn certain points. If it's the fact they are women - they use their sex. That's it. Bad people and terrible professionals.

Of course it's not every female journalist, it's just most of them. They complain about being tagged as "female journalists" rather than as "a journalist who, by the way, just happens to be a woman" but most journalist who are women don't actually act like journalists they act like "female journalists."

I first clued into this when I was about 16 and started noticing a pattern emerging. Women wrote about women a lot. Once I noticed that I also noted the absence of men writing about men. I've not yet seen a male journalist write about handsomeness standards in men and what it means to him or to men who are not handsome. I've never seen an article from a male journalist about how he fears male violence, or female violence or bitchiness, and how women should change who they are so that he can feel better about himself. What I do see all the time is women writing news articles and focusing the article on women, or how they are affected by the news, of how something needs to be done to fix the issue so that women will be happier, safer, treated better, feel better, feel more valued, feel less denigrated, feel less judged, feel more free to express their emotions, etc.

A male reporter goes to Syria and writes about the fighting and brutality taking place. A female reporter writes stories about how Syrian women are affected with so much violence taking place in their country. Do you see any stories coming from Syria written by male reporters focusing on how men, and men alone, are feeling about the hardships that are inflicted upon THEM? I've yet to see such a male-focused story.

Look at this story. Can you imagine if a male reporter covered it and the conclusion of the story was that the real harm of the sex abuse of minors was that adult men are victims. I can't imagine that ever passing muster with an editor, but a story about how women are the victims when a female teacher has sex with a male student, sure that falls within what is permissible for female journalists to write.

You're definitely right in your observation. And thought there are many women who write about different topics, there are mostly women writing about women.
Frankly speaking, I see two reasons for that:
1. We haven't won the war against sexism and chauvinism yet, so many women feel they need to fight more.
2. Men are not really interested in covering women's lives, are they? So female journalists fill this gap.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Someone is surprised that many women journalists write about subjects of interest to females.

 

[Asclepias]

Rhiz hates women that write opinion pieces about what effect a woman doing wrong has on other women? The guy is simply a loser

 

[Rikurzhen]

2. Men are not really interested in covering women's lives, are they? So female journalists fill this gap.
