    I have two male friends that WANT to be teachers but have been scared away for fear of being wrongly accused of inappropriate behavior.


    It's sad because there is a teacher shorting here in Chicago and all over the country - and fewer and fewer men are going into the field.


    this article 'the mistrusted male teacher' breaks it down well:

    "...we feel that it is essential that a woman be born a woman and have the physiology of a woman and the psychological experiences of living as a girl and a woman in order to embrace the work of the Vancouver Women's Health Collective."


    But their mission statement says:


    "We value shared information and experience over authoritative knowledge, especially when it comes to our own bodies. We support a woman's right to make informed choices about her health and health care. Women who were born women and live their lives as women inform the work we do including workshop development, library and resource acquisition, speech and campaign work, information dissemination, and organizing. We support women's sexual autonomy. We are pro-choice."


    I see no reason, really, for the bolded section to be in there. Transwomen can be feminists too, and, like all humans, have healthcare needs.

    Based on the media and my experiences with it, I know that the couple pictured cannot possibly be lesbian. They both look feminine, and we all know that's silly. So what's the deal, Jezebel? Can't we publish real photos of real lesbians, wherein at least one of them is "butch" and clearly "wears the pants"? What is this discrimination against real lesbians??

    Parents or guardians of Tyler Weinman:
    Please read the book written by Jeffery "chilhood squirrel torturer" Dahmer's dad. Then get your son serious mental health oversight and keep him the fuck away from people and animals until his shit is sorted out (possibly forever).

    @KLondike5: Possibly forever is probably the case. I don't know of any treatment methodology that is indicated to cure psychopaths of their deviance from societal norms. They simply don't give a chit what civilized society does or does not want.


    Unfortunately I don't think he can get life for kitty torturing. He's going to have to kill a human being before he's locked away forever. Unless he meets with an unfortunate accident before that takes place.


    It's a pity and a crime we have no way to deal with individuals like this. And unfortunately too we make them into heroes in the entertainment industry. Whenever we talk about "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" we hate Nurse Ratchett (probably psychopathic herself) but feel sorry for the psychopath that Jack Nicholson plays.


    We have to stop romanticizing anti-social people and figure out a way to stop them from harming innocents.


    And, of course I am not aiming this lecture at you. Your post just made me think about it.

    @LaComtesse: One thing about homosexual couples being named prom couples or whatever in high school is that it is almost inevitable that they will win given that high school kids looooove to tweak the system. As much as I would like to see this event as well as other similar events in the light of a new spirit of tolerance, I'm not totally sure how far that tolerance goes.


    But it is a step and a positive one.

    @Tart of Darkness: As for the use of the word "breeder" I do find it offensive.


    And also I know many homosexuals who have biological children usually from previous relationships before they have begun to understand and accept their own sexuality. So I find it unfair terminology also.


    Remember we heterosexuals don't choose our sexual orientation either.


    It reminds me of the days when white people would say that there are good blacks and they are called "Negroes" but there are bad blacks and they are the "N*ggers".

    @laureltreedaphne: Yes. I think we are. When I worked as a mental health counselor in an elementary school whenever we had complaints about male teachers it was almost inevitable that the teacher had done nothing wrong and the accusing parent had molestation issues.*


    This wasn't 100%. We did get a substitute fired for inappropriate speech to a fifth grade class. He described drinking urine for some reason. He was trying to make some kind of weird chemical point I think but was totally out of line.


    The strangest thing about him was that I had worked with him in a company having nothing to do with education years before. He was an oddball back then and I was amazed he was ever hired as a sub. I couldn't imagine how he passed the interview.


    *We didn't have a lot of these complaints so obviously my sample size was low. And we did investigate as if the teacher were in the wrong before we concluded he was not.


    Also a couple of the complainants worked with me for awhile and I believe I helped them separate their own experiences from their fear for their children and moved them into more comprehensive counseling.

    What happens to a little boy that he ends up that coldly vicious towards other living things like that? Of course, I'm infuriated at what he's done and how flippantly he's treating it, but there's also a part of me that is very sad at what created this.

    @Cafezinha: I think nature and nurture. And yes, it is heartbreaking to consider the nurture part of what created this.


    Jeffrey Dahmer's father was very open about his son's life and upbringing and behavior once it came out what he was up to as an adult. His mother, on the other hand, completely denied that anything had ever happened to him or that he was anything other than an ordinary boy.

    What a sociopath! I'm sure it's already been brought up, but many serial killers tortured and killed animals as children/teenagers. His behavior is going to escalate, but maybe since he is already on the radar he won't ever hurt any other people or animals.
