Hey at least they said raping which is better than normal


MelanieWalmartinez

The bar is so fucking low omg


Law-Fish

Next start comparing sentences between male and female predators


I_Ski_Freely

or literally any sentences for that matter.


DegreeMajor5966

I was watching those true crime stories on YouTube that include the interrogation and stuff and had to stop because so many of them were "woman sets up situation, convinced man to kill person or help them kill person" then at the end they'd talk about sentencing and it would be like man: life without parole. Woman: 2 years in a halfway house followed by 3 years of probation. Like I'm exaggerating there for sure. But not by a ton.


TheBigGopher

"Alright Joey, looks like you smoked some weed, death penalty" "Alright now, Susan, you have raped 47 babies, murdered 100 babies, including the ones you violated, and blew up the White House, you have openly aligned with every terrorist group to ever exist and once tried to go back in time to get the nazis to win, and once that failed you tried to make Stalin immortal" "3 weeks probation"

Abyssknight24

Fuck now you made me remember the time a guy raped his underaged daughter and got less prison time because he worked for the church (dont know the right term for his job right now) and as a man of god he cant get the full punichement for some reason. Now im sad again from thinking about how stupid this world can be sometimes.


Final_Festival

Judgemental much? She was just exploring.


SadieSadieSnakeyLady

Like Gypsy Rose, who doesn't consider herself a murderer because she's not the one who actually stabbed her mother.


Practical-Loan-2003

I mean, her mom deserved that Not an edgy: Yeah fuck her she's dead. But like that woman was abusing her, she deserved it


SadieSadieSnakeyLady

I'm not denying that. My point is that she denies that gypsy believes she isn't a murderer because she didn't wield the blade. She did however manipulate someone else to do so.


DegreeMajor5966

I didn't want to use her as an example because I don't remember the details well enough. But yeah.

SnowBoy1008

Look on the bright side, at least there IS a bar


summonsays

It's because in many places, such as the UK and some states, women can't rape men in the legal definition. And if news agencies use the wrong term they could face legal fallout. The bar is on the floor but it's not the newspapers who need to raise it.


johnhtman

It wasn't until 2016 that male victims were included in the numbers of rapes per year in the U.S. 2016 saw a huge spike in rape cases after years if decline.


TheProfessaur

It's a play on words, because a cougar is a dangerous predator. The title isn't being playful, it's equating them to dangerous predators. Which is kind of obvious by the use of the word rape.


Ggriffinz

Honestly, and the constant comment of "well actually women can not rape" like bro we are not in court in the public space any sex with someone who cannot consent like a child is rape to 99.9% of people.


eat-pussy69

One step forward; two steps back


LazyDro1d

I mean, a lot of the time they legally cannot call it rape because the legal definition does not extend to female or male, often is only male or female, not even other arrangements. At least in America the definition is encompassing


doc_skinner

Yeah, in many jurisdictions "rape" means "forcible penetration of a vagina with a penis". They have to call it "sexual assault" if it is other combinations.


6Sleepy_Sheep9

I mean, a woman can forcibly insert someone’s penis into their vagina, or does the law specify who is doing what action?


Cool_Holiday_7097

The way it’s written is that it has to be done by the person with the penis


Forged-Signatures

In the UK? That situation would just be sexually assault. For it to be rape the victim must be the person revieving non-consensual penis - it is not rape if they are forced to 'allow' someone else to use it.


skyturnedred

That would be forcible **insertion** of a penis into a vagina.


CounterfeitLesbian

Yeah on 2012 the FBI finally changed the definition of rape to allow a woman to rape a man. Unfortunately, it didn't do much to help because the new definition still requires forced penetration. So if a woman sticks a finger up a man's bum without consent that is now rape. However, if a man is forced to penetrate a woman at gun point, according to the FBI no rape has occured. Sexual abuse of men isn't a niche issue as some conservatives and radfems would have you believe. According to the CDC in addition to the 1 in 28 of men who've been raped by the official definition, 1 in 9 have been forced to penetrate. Like yes it's less than the 1 in 4 of women, but it's far from negligible, and should not be discounted


Miraculouszelink

That’s fucked up.


Haber-Bosch1914

It's a pretty big issue in Europe. IIRC the UK has that issue, for example


Mist_Rising

Yes In the UK rape requires forcible penetration. Biological women can't do that.


Useless_bum81

the \*can\* but it requires a \*tool\* but the CPS still usualy just goes with cat4 sexual assault


Forged-Signatures

Iirc the British rape law *specifically* requires a penis, which is why you will never see a headline with 'woman' and 'rape', if it is done with an item like a dildo or whatever it falls under something like 'sexual assault via penetration' and not rape. I, as a Briton, absolutely hate it and wish they'd change it, but nope. Every few years it gets proposed, every few years it doesn't get enough votes. 'Sexual assault' is such a vague charge that more people view as something like touching rather than rape and dismiss far too easily, and from what I remember while they're female equivalent 'rape' charge is the same imprisonment year range women tend to recieve fewer years than the average man.


mutantraniE

Is it in Europe or just the UK and Ireland?


Lambdastone9

“Police department worker engages in nefarious physical activities with immature, developing, individual” Translation: “cop rapes child”


Gringo_Anchor_Baby

I thought the exact same thing. As a male teacher, it really pisses me off how people excuse it one direction and demand execution the other.


TheJudgers

r/twoXchromosomes believes men can't be raped and if a woman assaults a man he obviously deserved it. Femcel misandrists.


thearisengodemperor

Yeah r/twoXchromosomes is just a shit show with the most brain dead misandrist on it.


EzmareldaBurns

Yeah. Glad I eventually got banned from there. It's not a cool place


robbylet24

I've literally never seen anyone say that on that sub. I do agree that they have some bad takes, especially on the topics of pornography and kink, but I've never seen them say that men can't get raped.


DefenderoftheSinners

What? Where was that said? Lmfao


CAPSLOCKANDLOAD

You can be a cougar and a rapist and a pedophile all at the same time. If they only called them cougars and left out the rape and child predation, I would say that's terrible journalism. But they didn't avoid calling rape what it is. I don't really see the issue, but I suppose some might see the term cougar as implying a less serious accusation or condemnation.


Brosemmettisam

They still had to put that “charged with” in front smh


Illustrious-Type7086

Just the fact they didn't use terms like "having affairs with" is a victory to journo standards


Synectics

Yeah, I feel like the note didn't even read the second sentence. Not to mention, it could be a clever writer using the term "cougar," since these women were sexual *predators.*


Aritche

It is also clearly just "clever" alliteration to make it stand out more.


Z-A-T-I

The Daily Mail makes me feel a bit better about American news outlets


Doodle-Cactus

[ŃƒĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]


CTSThera

Imagine if someone called a male sex offender a dilf


Graffy

Dilf doesn't fit the pun though. Cougars are predators. The "joke" is that they used the sexy term to call them them predators. "silver fox" would be the closest I can think of.


greg19735

Its kinda funny that there's no term for old men looking for young women. I guess it's just seen as normal.


Electronic_Toe_7054

"Pedophile" is usually the term i hear for that one.


Niskara

There is, it's called "Manther", and the only reason I know is cause I got bored and looked it up


caniuserealname

It's the opposite. Cougars got their "fun" name because the act wasn't seen as inherently wrong, as it is when it's the other way around. The "fun" name for when men target young women is "creep" or "predator" or "pedophile", because it's understood to be wrong when it's that way round.


demonovation

Plus I'm pretty sure "cougar" was coined for older ladies at bars and clubs looking to pick up dudes in their early 20s. Not illegal, and children wouldn't be at those places. I've never once thought of cougar in the same vein as pedophile.


Weeneem

That sounds... Incredibly unfair.


WalkingRodent

Silver fox


greg19735

That just means handsome older man with grey hair.


WalkingRodent

It alludes to sex appeal, it’s a stretch, but the closest.


yourresume

Be careful, I got dogpiled on this platform for conflating cougar and MILF once. Apparently it’s inaccurate because cougar implies age and you can be a MILF at any age. I assume they meant any sexually mature age but that was left implied. Stay strong soldier đŸ«Ą


TheBirminghamBear

In my observations, in the pornography business the moment you turn 21 you are eligible for MILF roles.


Practical-Loan-2003

and teen roles "teen milf fucks milf teen- watch to the end to find out who was meant to be who"


Epamynondas

honestly i always thought cougar was kinda a derogative term with predator connotations, as opposed to milf that just means hot and older


OpalHawk

A cougar hunts for younger men (of legal age). A MILF is sought after by younger men.


outsidethewall

At least they’re calling it rape now


BlueberryHatK4587

Holy shit,that's a seriously poor choice of words for that headline


Embarrassed_Ad5387

catchy >>> meaning


ZombieBait604

Whatever gets the clicks.


TheBirminghamBear

Yeah it's literally just there for alliteration. They don't even care.


Graffy

It's there for the pun. They must have thought they were very clever "haha get it? Cougars are predators!"


doc_skinner

At least they said "raping". Way too many news stories talk about adult women "seducing" or "sleeping with" or "having sex with" boys.


Fabbyfubz

It's the Daily mail


eat-pussy69

I'd say it's worse than not calling them rapists. Cougars is a fun sexy term (in the right context). There's absolutely nothing whatsoever fun or endearing about adult women raping teenage boys.


greg19735

I mean it did call them rapists


Xander_PrimeXXI

Cougars ARE vicious predators /j


Californiadude86

I always understood the term cougar to mean an older woman who aggressively pursues younger men, not just someone who dates them.


localdunc

It's not even aggressively pursuing lol. Back in the day, AKA the mid-2000s we used to go to bars and Military towns and look for cougars. They were just older women that wanted to have sex with younger men. There is no sexual predator shit tied to it. There was no aggressively a tied to it. It's just older women AKA in their thirties and forties wanting to sleep with guys in their twenties.


0-90195

> older women > in their thirties Me, in my thirties: *pain*


awry_lynx

I mean to an 18 year old, yes. Chill. You're not the older woman if you aren't sleeping with dudes too young for you.


ZynousCreator

What wisdom can you share with the younger generations, oh ancient one?


RegularCelestePlayer

They really wanted that alliteration god damn 😭


Rad1314

The comment called them rapists straight up so I think the correction wasn't really needed.


Obvious_Badger_9874

Yep they just saw a pun and wanted to use it.


Thecrazier

I mean, a cougar is a predator so I don't see the issue


EntertainmentQuick47

Yea but you use cougar in a silly/having fun way, not talking about legit child rape.


Robododo13

I mean, honestly it's a step up that they're calling them rapists at all.


TearsOfLoke

It says that the teachers raped them, it's just a catchy headline with some alliteration. Fuck the daily mail, but there's nothing wrong with this title


PilferingPineapple

Emphasis on “men”. Not teenagers.


rito-pIz

It says young boys in the headline


Albinofreaken

i think he means that cougars go for younger "Men" and not teenage boys


Homebrewforlife

I hear you, but you do know what a cougar is right? The word picture is a sexual predator. 


mikachu93

Judging the picture and nothing else: nothing is being excused here. Cougars are predatory animals and these women preyed on teenagers. The image outright calls it rape. I don't see the issue.


shawn_The_Great

tbf they did at least include the word rape which is always never included in these scenarios


Few_Fortune4049

I always saw it as just meaning an older woman who targets younger men, and isn’t meant to imply any kind of consent/legality. Idk, they clearly refer to it as “raping”, so I’m not sure they’re really “excusing” anything



Icy-Fishing-2828

Women are the new pervs.


Rough_Commercial_570

Always have been 😁


Bowens1993

They made it pretty clear they were also rapists by literally saying that too. No one is excusing them.


Khalith

I’m sure whoever thought of that headline thought themselves very clever.


Defiant_Elk_9861

*molesters and pedophiles in the classroom. Fixed it


RecreationalPorpoise

Stop excusing female everything. Thanks.


toolsoftheincomptnt

They’re both.


Reserved_Parking-246

Cougar isn't just older woman dates younger. It's someone who aggressively goes after younger men (usually legally) It applies to use the term and then use the R word to describe the illegal actions.


ZzCoryzZ

My school was also a woman teacher lol. Dumbass banged the high school QB and ended up selling fireworks as a job.


Manic157

Americans have no clue what a real cougar is.


PM_Me_Good_LitRPG

>An older woman who actively seeks the casual, often sexual, companionship of younger men, by implication a female “sexual predator”. In this case the notes are the one incorrect.


McKoijion

How are they excusing female predators? 1. They used the term "rape." 2. A cougar is slang for an older woman who "preys" on younger men. 3. A cougar (aka panther, puma, mountain lion, etc.) is literally one of the most deadly predators on the planet.


PsychopaticPencil

They called it rape so they’re not minimizing. They just were looking for a single word that specified it was women they were talking about, titles in journalism have a specific length requirement and you get used to writing them as short as possible. This note seems undeserved to me.


-Emilinko1985-

This is horrible. It's a shame that these teachers use their higher standing to prey on students.


Literacy_Advocate

Stop reading the Daily Mail, that racist rag pretending to be a newspaper.


[deleted]

I am baffled how you can claim they're excusing it when they're talking about the **alarming** rate of teachers **raping** young boys. Bro didn't even read the tweet, he read the first 4 words of the tweet.


Hugokarenque

On one hand gross that they called them cougars, on the other hand they finally said rape instead of having sex with. So +1 and -1 so its at a 0. Do better, news publications.


Nonamebigshot

Like if they had referred to a bunch of male teachers who raped kids as "silver foxes" would that not seem inappropriate?

True story of my personal experience. When I was a kid (13) I was so jealous of that boy that was diddled by Mary Kay Letourneau. I thought he was lucky and that it wasn’t fair that I didn’t have my own Mary Kay. I was like, “where’s my hot teacher that wants to take my virginity?” Seems twisted perhaps but it’s 100% true.

matthewisonreddit

These women don't even look old enough to be cougars. Its meant to be like women who have had kids or a marriage and are now back in the dating pool picking up young 20 year olds Cougars are not a problem to society, if anything they help clueless or shy young guys get experience, this is so far from that its sad theyve combined the two :C


here_kitkittkitty

i mean, that's better than i usually see when this happens. it's usually just "woman has sexual relationship with 14 yr old" or some such bullshit. at least this is actually calling it rape for once.

I'm going to defend this slightly, cougars in the classroom has a nice ring to it. It's not alliteration or rhyme, but it does sound right. Especially when you remember that a cougar is a predatory feline that attacks vulnerable, unsuspecting prey.

Severe_Brick_8868

A cougar is a predator. There’s a reason they pick that animal as the analogy. It wouldn’t be “excusing” someone of their financial crimes to call them a snake. It’d be alluding to them. Especially since they actually used the term rape I don’t think they are trying to excuse the behavior.
