Theres a book that a female friend of mine read, she is on goodreads so I see when people read books.

Well the book is called Tampa... it's about a female teacher that her sole goal in life is to have sex with a boy, before he gets all "gross and manly" so she becomes a teach for the sole purpose to seduce a 13/14 year old boy. That book is GRAPHIC and the entire time I am learning about this book I am thinking how fast the author would have been under fire if it was written by a man and the characters sexes were reversed.

Yeah folk didn't care at all.
Edit: The front cover looks like a vagina too.

You expect the general population to be picking up books? I'm barely convinced that the average American is even literate.

We had a school secretary that this story could have been about. She messed around with a lot of high school boys when I was in school.

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.

Ironic that people would need to be baited with a book about "steamy sex involving underage boys"....to absorb the message that such a thing is bad, sexist, and treated differently by society when a woman is the perpetrator.

The Daily Mail is basically the British equivalent to the National Enquirer, which means no, it isn't really news at all.
