Know your history!!!
I think everyone can remember a time when people held thoughts that we now find extremely ignorant, such as women didn't have the brains to vote, non-whites did not possess souls, there was "very little" incest, so on, so forth. We also had that wonderful era when psychiatrists (don't get me started on them) would say victims "wanted" to be abused, enjoyed it, were participants, etc. That rape victims "asked for it." REMEMBER???
Nothing GOOD can come out of Sandra's death. But perhaps there is an opening of the door on the ignorant, IMO, idea that women do not molest.
I think that it double-victimizes victims to say "women don't molest" unless a man is involved. I think it PROTECTS the abusers to hold such a narrow view that "only" men molest.
People are forgetting NAZI GERMANY and the vast number of HORRIBLE CRIMES perpetrated on the people in the death camps, not just by the males such as Mengele, but by WOMEN, some of whom were HANGED (YAY) after the War. They did all sorts of horrible, horrible, perverted things to their victims.
I taught both primary grades and in an alternative high school. The behavior of the female students at the high school would CURL YOUR HAIR. The sexual acting-out would disgust you. The grabbing at other girls, the dirty filthy talk, the rampant lesbianism (NOT getting into the whole fight about homosexualilty here, just stating these girls were self-declared lesbians), the hints of them attacking younger sisters. I had to leave, the way the PRINCIPAL, other TEACHERS, PROBATION OFFICERS and the PARENTS rushed to defend and excuse the criminal behavior of the students (all had records) was just EYE-OPENING in the most horrifying way.
ANY OTHER HIGH SCHOOL ALTERNATIVE TEACHERS ON THIS FORUM? SPEAK UP!!!!
People don't want to believe it could be true. It is true. Women do molest, girls do molest.:behindbar
