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:
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
