I feel conflicted on this.

The author's motivation for creating the novel....is to bring awareness to the double standard of teachers sleeping with students.

When it's a male teacher....he is immediately seen as a monster by the media (and understandably so).

But when it's a female teacher.....the media will focus on how attractive she is. Maybe even investigate to see if the male students manipulated HER into having sex. See her as a victim more than anything else. Lots of jokes in the comments section about "I wish I had teachers like that when I was in school!" and how the boys she took advantage of "werent victims in the slightest!" etc.

Lots of "har har" jokes.

SNL even made fun of it with that sketch series "Teacher Trial". (Which is hilarious, btw).

But if the author's intention was to bring awareness to this double standard.....why glorify and romanticize it with a graphic sexual novel???

I'm wondering if that was truly her intention.....or if she's just using it as a smokescreen to bash masculinity in a sick, twisted fantasy of her own.

The fact that this book even got a publisher is troubling.

If a male author wrote a book about a male teacher who preys on female students because he wants to sleep with them before they are "polluted by other men" or "become toxic nagging women".......the author would probably be arrested.
