Feminised Australian Women suck

If this is the standard why aren’t more women caught and punished in Australia ?

The Case Against Female Sexual Predators

By GORDON E. FINLEY

Debra Lafave’s court case is over now, and she has immediately moved on to a new man, a national interview on CNN and a new book to write. What an exciting and empowering outcome to this sordid event - for her.

But what of the 14-year-old schoolboy she sexually molested - whose life, by media accounts, never will be the same again? I shudder to think how this experience will shape not only his future relationships with his peers and parents, but above all, his adult relationships with women and perhaps even his role as a father if ever he becomes one.

Of perhaps greater concern, evidence that Lafave represents but the tip of the iceberg can be found in a 2004 U. S. Department of Education report titled “Educator Sexual Misconduct: A Synthesis of Existing Literature.”

This report includes data from two large-scale surveys wherein students report that 43 percent of their molesters were female. Such a proportion of female sexual predators is high by any measure.

For centuries we have entrusted our children to females for nurturance, care and emotional support - not sexual abuse. We must open our hearts and minds to the reality that females can be sexual predators and that their victims are harmed, just as the victims of male sexual predators are harmed.

Lafave has made Tampa - indeed, Florida - synonymous worldwide with a reeking double standard in its punishment of sexual predators: jail for males, fame and fortune for females.

I find nothing in her story that remotely hints that any female sexual predator ever will be deterred by this legal outcome. If anything, I would expect it to encourage female sexual predators, since they now know that they need not fear prosecution in this state.

I believe the Florida Legislature needs to create and fund a Female Sexual Predator Act to protect our sons and daughters from female sexual predators, just as existing laws protect them from male sexual predators.

First and foremost, such an act would provide immediate services - protective, therapeutic and rehabilitative - to the victims of female sexual predators. Second, the act would require equal treatment and uñual punishment under the law for male and female sexual predators.

As a society, we need to reframe the sexual abuse debate to acknowledge that female sexual predators do exist in substantial numbers. Delay in passing a Female Sexual Predator Act only continues to leave children in Florida at risk from further female sexual predation.
