A 28-year-old woman is accused of having sex with the 14-year-old boy she was hired to watch. Prime News reports.

I think the male reporter in the video, Mike Galanos, is putting on a big show. His disgust at the crime is not real but theatrical. If the victim were a girl, his disgust would be authentic and direct, but seeing it is a boy, he has to give a performance of disgust.

Most fathers are not pleased with this sort of thing either way, but their root feeling is that it's better it happens to the son than to the daughter. If a woman seduces a teen, it is hard for us to completely separate it from the motherly; if a man does the same, we totally fail to see anything fatherly about it. It might all come down to breastfeeding, down to women not having attached to them the hard sign of exploitation. Because of motherly (and ultimately socialist or civilized) attributes (breastfeeding, pregnancy), a confusion occurs: the sexual act has the aspect not of a robbery but a gift. Men do not birth or feed anything with their bodies, they are barren; and this results in the opposite sign being pinned on them: total takers. The woman gives; the man takes. That, at the level of signs, but not at the level of actuality, is the expected reading of this sort of thing.

Still, a crime was committed and it shall be punished.
