Are we so focused on predatory males in positions of power praying on vulnerable women & girls - that we lose sight of the fact it can happen the other way around.

How many more of these evil women are hiding in the shadows...?

Teacher who had sex with schoolboy after tying him to bed faces prison

A jury found Deborah Franklin, 65, a former teacher at a Hertfordshire preparatory school, guilty of eight counts of gross indecency with a boy under 14 between 1991 and 1995.

I was listening to a debate yesterday in which a guy referenced several recent studies which found that male students actually face as much sexual harassment as female students. I didn't read the studies but the guy was well known and defo referenced them fully. Apparently the main issue is that women usually get away with things we'd challenge in a man in terms of physical contact so the figures are skewed until you start digging deeper into the actual experiences and asking "has anybody ever...'

He was saying male students get sexually harassed more by female teachers than female students get sexually harassed by male teachers? That sounds wildly implausible.

Women are warmer (generally) and would perhaps be touching a shoulder to be comforting, not sexually... (Although best to avoid full stop)

Male here NC. Victim of SA from female and male when young. Took 30+ years to overcome

I'm sorry to hear about that happening to you.

There is a crime here but women who perform this type of crime are extreme outliers in society. We can not as a society remove focus on sexual violence against women and girls because of what aboutery for a tiny subsection of sexual predation. We can not just simply wash over the fact that sexual crime is very much a male crime and was ever thus.

There was a piece on Facebook where Hertfordshire police were appealing for witnesses for a sexual assault where a woman pinched a man's bottom in a nightclub (picked up on carb or mobile). Police time will now be spent investigating this from an admin point of view and the comments on Facebook ebook would be as you would expect from men. The point is highlighting a woman pinching a male bottom distracts from a much larger societal menace of sexual assault perpetrated by men.

You think men who rape teenage girls are routinely prosecuted?

You fool.

This.

So, the police should really ignore the 'woman pinching a man's bottom' and concentrate on victims who are women only...?

I do not want to belittle the bottom pinching but it is an example where we can distract from violence against women and girls by highlighting what many (Maybe wrongly) are relatively trivial offences and maybe the police searching for the woman for sexual assault may be disproportionate. There are probably thousands of women getting their bottoms pinched every day and worse so I wonder what their attitudes to the police spending time in this is?

No one is saying that is good behaviour.
But we'd prefer the police to be hunting rapists.

NoisyBrickDog · 02/08/2026 12:15

But the police should be hunting anyone who is committing offences, surly?
We shouldn't belittle 'bottom pinching' weather the suspect is male or female. Its like flashing - its possibly a trigger offence that leads to much more serious ones.

If we go down the route of police just concentrating on rapists - then this teacher gets away with it - as she hasn't raped the school boy. Even-though she tied him to a bed and had sex with him against his consent several times, it won't be considered as rape.

So going by that 'logic' wouldn't it make more sense for the police to hunt serial killers over simple one off murderers, leaving rapists to just roam the streets

So the police should pick and choose who they hunt because the public would prefer something different

I am thankful the public do not control the law

Consider my post reworded as 'rapists and serious sexual offenders'. That would include this woman.

Ideally we would hunt anyone who is committing offences, yes. But the police have limited resources, and most rapists get away with their crime. Hence I would prefer them to hunt the more serious offenders and leave a woman pinching bums.

Your point is disingenuous. You cannot - and I clearly was not - comparing murderers and a woman pinching bums.

So, would you be okay with them leaving men to pinch women's bums too?

I think its wrong on both counts - and if the victim wants to make a complaint it should be investigated in the same manner as anything else.

I know I'm going off topic here - but this was one of the issues with the Sarah Everard case. His previous offences were ignored (flashing) as they were seen as less important, and look how that turned out. And the outcry was that it should have been investigated properly at the time.
