I mean, if ever there was a situation to bring up "but what about MALE victims??" statutory rape of boys by adult women is probably the one. Hell, look at Macron and that poo poo is borderline romanticized.

i remember reading somewhere that as soon as the authorities started taking the statutory rape of young boys by adult female teachers a little more seriously, the relative % of women being convicted for it went up eleven times in canada... previously, only edge cases like the statutory rape of an extremely young boy were seriously followed up on, or if it was the statutory rape of a little girl by a female teacher - pretty much everything else was ignored

nice, indeed

to give further weight to the issue, some sociologists predict that once authorities start treating these crimes as seriously as the statutory rape of young girls by adult male teachers, the relative % of female teacher convictions will not only reach parity with male teachers, but actually exceed it, given that female teachers comprise the majority of the profession - either way, there's definitely real work to do in the area whether that's true or not

France doesn't have the concept of statutory rape so in a feat of legal magic, pedophilia doesn't exist in France.

It's a big thing right now and where a lot of the French #metoo is going. One particularly egregious case has a 14 year old girl who clearly consented to a fire department. It's the normal he said/she said farce of rape trials but in this case it's like 12 dudes' words against just one little girl so obviously she's the one who is lying.

Consented to joining a fire department?

Hulu just did a show called "A Teacher" about this that does the exact opposite. It didn't exactly thrill the critics but it does basically say that when that happens it ruins both their lives in different ways and the teacher is always the abuser in that situation.

France is....pretty far behind in the law in terms of looking out for the welfare of children.

quote:

Protests will take place across France on Sunday in support of a woman allegedly raped by 20 firefighters when she was between 13 and 15 years old. Her case is being examined in the country’s highest court this week and campaigners hope it will lead to an age of sexual consent being enshrined in law as it is in the rest of the European Union.

Julie* says she was raped by Parisian firefighters over a period of two years, having been groomed by Pierre, a firefighter who had assisted her during a severe anxiety seizure when she was 13 in early 2008. Three of the accused have admitted they had sex with her but say it was consensual. In a journal written shortly afterwards Julie says she was “terrified and paralysed with fear” at the time.

Speaking of, I feel like a lot of shows in the 90s or so had a lot of plotlines of "character a does something bad, character b spanks them, character a's parents object, but in the end are proven wrong" style plot lines. Even as a kid I felt like there was some bullshit there.

If you want to have a crazy argument, next time someone comes at you pro spanking, come back at them pro elder abuse. Deep down i know it's just bullying, but it really feels great. I feel every reason to hit a child is a valid argument of why i can, no SHOULD beat up the elderly, and any reason i shouldn't is a reason they should keep their drat hands to their selves and leave those kids alone.

He plays for the dreamers that forgot how to dream, and the lovers that forgot how to love.
Classic Roseanne (before the stroke and brainworms set in) had a good balanced take on it, in that you understood why she went as far as she did, and Dan and Jackie had a bit of a debate throughout the episode, Dan coming from a perspective of a more emotionally abusive childhood so not having any experience with it and so thinking it was fine and Jackie coming from a physically abusive childhood and recognising that it wasn't a punitive thing she was doing, it was just losing her temper because their dad was the same way (although worse).

It all comes down to a very depressed and regretful Roseanne talking to DJ about the incident, and apologising because she remembered how that kind of behaviour made HER feel towards her dad and she didn't want DJ to feel that way about her.

The most recent comedy that I can think of that had spanking as a plot point was The Office (season 6 maybe?) where Michael is sick of his lovely nephew/intern. I think they were going for absurdist humor, but beating your relative in front of your employees to show dominance is a super weird flex.

I learned on Twitter the other day that child pornography was not specifically illegal in the UK until 1987! Presumably it fell under obscenity laws before, but still ...

Speaking of the UK, I rewatched cult-classic horror spoof Garth Marenghi's Darkplace last Halloween, and there's a show I wouldn't recommend now without a warning about the Troma-style grossout gags (one involving onscreen rape) and extreme misogyny (which is at least one of the creators' satirical targets, but your mileage may vary on how well that satire is done). Then again, the show is 16 years old now, and unlike South Park, it hasn't had 20 seasons to wear out its welcome (there is a not-as-good sequel series: Man to Man with Dean Learner).

There was a period where The Sun newspaper website had the largest public accessible child porn archive on the internet.

It had a long-standing tradition of putting titty pics on page three, with some of its models being as young as 16 before the law raised the limit to 18. For a time, the Sun's website had back issues with all those pictures intact.

Just as a fyi: The term "child pornography" is pretty outdated and according to the victims actively harmful. A better term is something like "documentation of sexual abuse".

It's just so weird seeing corporal punishment in american tv shows.In any norwegian show there wouldn't even be a debate between the adults, child protection services would be involved and the parents would most likely be facing charges.

There are places in the US where school administrators are allowed to dole out spankings, sometimes with wooden paddles.

yeah we say that now because we had it happen to us and we know

though there’s still lots of la chancla jokes. i grew up as the kid of caribbean immigrants and yeah, corporal punishment was huge. iirc a ton of it is from slavery and colonial rule, that got handed down

it isn’t normal parenting to hit your kid, regardless of culture

It might be cheating to mention state party platforms, but a number of US state Republican Party platforms have the preservation of spanking in school by teachers as a core part of their public education goals.

Getting hit by a teacher in class is so hosed up to me that I couldn’t even imagine it happening as a kid. Even my parents considered it inconceivable.

In the nineties I briefly went to a private school in alabama for kindergarten where the teacher would hit us on the wrist with a ruler as a punishment. Every time she hit me, which was probably a dozen times, it was because she decided she could not adequately identify who was responsible for something and decided just to punish every person in the class. She also repeatedly threatened to have the whole class arrested and sent to jail.

All I can say is thank god we didn't stay in alabama for long.
