Substitute Teacher Facing Sex Charge [W. Post]
A 24-year-old woman who worked as a substitute teacher in Fairfax County public schools has been accused of having a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old student, police said yesterday.
Ok, I just want to get one thing straight here. A 24-year-old woman having sex with a 14-year-old boy is not sexual abuse—it's his ultimate fantasy. It may be illegal, and it may be kinda creepy (or perhaps a little pathetic?), but there's nothing evil or bad about it.
Unless this kid is mentally retarded, he knew full well what was going on, and I'm sure enjoyed all 2 minutes of it. I'll spare you the gruesome details, but let's just say that when I was 14, I couldn't keep my hands off my junk. And I'm sure, with hormones raging, I would've almost killed for the opportunity this kid has had. So let's not demonize this poor woman. Let's get her a date with a dude who can drink.
And yes, I would feel differently about this if it was the other way around. It's a lot different.
End of fucking story.

you're so sensitive, awww.
Yeah, but would you want to have sex with a women who finds her emotional equal in a 14-year-old boy? My goodness, 14-year-old boys aren't even the emotional equals of 11-year-old girls, usually. Is there any kind of screening at all to be a substitute teacher or do you just have to be willing to take the abuse heaped onto you by the kids?
Well of course there's something off about this woman, Jen. I'm not debating that. And, no, I wouldn't want to sleep with her. [TMI: Although I have had a few experiences with older women over the years and I can truly say it was pretty amazing. I was legal, by the way.]
But if I was this fourteen-year-old hornball, I wouldn't really care about underlying issues such as why this woman is attracted to me or why this woman isn't dating people her own age. I'd just want to get laid.
It's really pretty simple.
You know, I don't think there is much of a screening process. I can think of at least one person I know who subbed here in Arlington and who is totally unsuitable to be around children.
Yeah, it's kind of a weird issue. When I was in college and 20 (about to turn 21) I dated a guy who was 16 (about to turn 17) -- er, he was fast-tracked into college so I suppose it's arguable he was more mature than his peers. Sometimes I think back on it and I really wonder, ha, but then again, I was prtty immature back then and we were all thrown together like that. He was actually one of my favorite boyfriends of all time though... just that he was (and is) a very cool person. However, sometimes I wonder if maybe I did do some damage by kind of assuming he was as mature as he thought he was... I really hope not. I mean, we remained friends over the years and he never said anything so I think it's cool. ;)
And, I think the older you get, the more the window sort of closes (or time contracts, or something). I mean, I wouldn't feel pervey dating a guy four years younger than me now... anyway, enough of my sordid past. ;)
