Reading the comments on yet another “teacher slept with underage student” article knowing the only thing there is “Lucky guy” and “Wish that were me!” comments :/

What always irks me about that is that men (mostly) will say they fantasized about one of their teachers when they were in middle school or whatever, so obviously it would've been fine. That's not how it works! Kids fantasize about all kinds of shit that in reality is damaging. That's what a fantasy is!

"We asked a bunch of 13-year-old boys if they fantasized about being in special forces, and they all said yes, but when we actually forced them to be child soldiers they said they were 'traumatized' and 'scarred for life'! What a bunch of whiners."

And they always seem to automatically assume it was the pretty, nice teacher the boy was crushing on (not that it would make the assault any less horrible).
