Sexism isn't when things aren't equal for men and woman. Sexism is when the dominant person uses his privileged position. When the victim is reacting and protecting herself from that dominant position, it's not "reverse sexism", it's just a normal reaction of self protection.

I don't know if you are ignorant or not, but you certainly are clueless.

The fact remains that most of the child abuse being done in our current society are done by men, not by woman

I don't know if you are ignorant or not, but you certainly are clueless.

In the Ontario Incidence Study, 10% of sexual abuse investigations involved female perpetrators (Trocme, 1994). However, in six studies reviewed by Russell and Finkelhor, female perpetrators accounted for 25% or more of abusers. Ramsay-Klawsnik (1990) found that adult females were abusers of males 37% of the time and female adolescents 19% of the time. Both of these rates are higher than the same study reported for adult and teen male abusers.

Research on teen and adult female sexual abuse perpetrators has found that many suffer from low self-esteem, antisocial behaviour, poor social and anger management skills, fear of rejection, passivity, promiscuity, mental health problems, post-traumatic stress disorder and mood disorders (Hunter et al., 1993; Mathews, Matthews and Speltz, 1989). However, as in the case of male perpetrators, research does not substantiate that highly emotionally disturbed or psychotic individuals predominate among the larger population of female sexual abusers (Faller, 1987).

Self-report studies provide a very different view of sexual abuse perpetration and substantially increase the number of female perpetrators. In a retrospective study of male victims, 60% reported being abused by females (Johnson and Shrier, 1987). The same rate was found in a sample of college students (Fritz et al., l 981). In other studies of male university and college students, rates of female perpetration were found at levels as high as 72% to 82% (Fromuth and Burkhart, 1987, 1989; Seidner and Calhoun, 1984).

Plea Deal in Teacher-Student Sex Case Garnering National Attention
A Tooele prosecutor is defending his decision to make a plea deal for a substitute teacher accused of having sex with a student. It's an issue that's getting national attention.

Sean Hannity: "Another teacher accused of sex with a student."

In September, a judge ordered the substitute teacher, 29-year-old Cameo Patch, to serve three years of probation, pay a two-thousand dollars fine, undergo psychosexual evaluation and take part in treatment.

A History of Sex With Students, Unchallenged
New York Times, U.S.A., By DAVID KOCIENIEWSKI, October 10, 2006

BAYONNE, N.J. Many in this gray, insular city are at a loss to explain why Diane Cherchio West was allowed to continue working in the public school system for two decades after she was caught in 1980 kissing and groping a 13-year-old student at an eighth-grade dance.

Why, after her promotion to guidance counselor at Bayonne High School, no one alerted social services, school officials or the police when she became pregnant by an 11th grader she supervised, Steven West, and married him upon his graduation in 1985.

Woman who lied about rape gets prison
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, Thursday, October 12, 2006

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A woman who lied about getting pregnant through date rape and abandoned her newborn in a trash bin was sentenced to prison for the statutory rape of the baby's father, her 12-year-old cousin.

Twyana Davis, 30, claimed in 1995 that she had been raped at a party, and told her story in a book and on television.




Now talk about entitled...or thinking she was as a woman entitled to do as she saw fit...and then ask for child support.

3 in 4 B.C. boys on street sexually exploited by women
The Vancouver Sun, Gerry Bellett, Canwest News Service, Tuesday, May 27, 2008

VANCOUVER - Canada's largest study into the sexual exploitation of street kids and runaways has shattered some myths about who the abusers might be - with the most surprising finding being that many are women seeking sex with young males.

"Some youth in each gender were exploited by women with more than three out of four (79 per cent) sexually exploited males reporting exchanging sex for money or goods with a female," said Elizabeth Saewyc, associate professor of nursing at the University of British Columbia and principal investigator for the study conducted by Vancouver's McCreary Centre Society.

"I must admit it wasn't something we were expecting."

The results were drawn from interviews with 1,845 youth - some as young as 12 - in surveys taken across the province between 2000 and 2006.

The stereotypical model of the child being abused - a teenage female being sexually abused by a male - was wrong, said Saewyc.

The sexual abuse by women of children and teenager
A surprising 86% of survivors of sexual abuse were not believed when they said the abuser was a woman.

Many myths were exposed, such as the one that women only sexually abused when coerced by men - they in fact played the lead part. Also the myth that women are incapable of cruelty - what was shown was beyond belief.

Mike Lew, author of Victims No Longer, an excellent book for male survivors of sexual abuse, says of this book: "Michele Elliott and her colleagues guide us through denial, stereotypes, and conventional misinformation to an unflinching examination of painful realities. Theoretical, research, and clinical chapters help to forge a new understanding of the issues and set directions for further exploration. Many survivors, both male and female, will finally have their experiences validated. The powerfully moving survivors' stories will be vital tools for survivors in their healing and will aid therapists in understanding the complexities of recovery from sexual abuse by females" (from the cover).

Studies on child abuse BOTH show that abuses are most likely from:
A) people close from the familly AND
B) males

Women commit 25% of all child sexual abuse

Some of the more striking differences between male and female sex offenders are, first, many more females than males sexually abuse in consort with another person (usually male). In contrast, it is very rare for men to commit their offense with another person (Mathews, 1989). (...) When woman do participate in the abuse with another person, they generally play an adjunctive, rather than a primary initiating role. Usually, women who abuse with a man are doing so in order to please their partner (many times out of fear).

Second, females tend to use violence less frequently than man do during the course of their offending behavior (Krug, 1989).

Finally, the duration and frequency of the molestation appears to be less for females as a group than for males. Moreover, the number of victimes per female offfender seems to be less than for their male counterparts (Wolfe, 1985).

Another factor characteristic of female sex offenders appears to be their extreme dependency on or rejection by males (Mathews, 1989). These woman have a very low self esteem and are dependent on men for not only their survival but for their sense of self as well. They are easily manipulated and coerced by their male partners to engage in innapropriate sexual acts against their own or other children. It is important to note that not all female child molestors have these characteristics, but it is likely that does who do generally abuse because they were coerced by another person (usually a male).
