    I’m just amazed that it was called ‘sexual abuse’ and not ‘an intimate relationship’, a ‘romp’, etc. like it usually is.

      It’s taken a while but looks like we’ll be able to call a sexual abuser a sexual abuser regardless of gender!

        Was reading about one 49 year old who raped a 14 year old and just got probation. So women still get away with much worse than men.

          I mean regarding teachers that may seem like the case, but there’s preteen mothers that would like a word.

          Most abusers don’t even get probation, if they’re reported at all.
