Quite honestly, hearing the words "teacher" and "caught", and "sex", in the same sentence, I can only feel relief on realizing that it's between adults.

Also, I laughed really hard when I read the first sentence of the steak-throwing. And then I just got sad reading the rest of it.

I went to that high school, and one of those women was my teacher for two years. This really does not surprise me at all. Nor do I feel that bad for her. She always had some major boundary issues. I'm kind of surprised she didn't get in trouble for something before this

@colormeroutine: I grew up by that school! (but didn't end up going there). Sort of odd to say Brooklyn Pride for a post about a sex-escandalo but there we have it. Brooklyn pride indeed. It's just rare to read about that part of Brooklyn other than when cricket players get hit by lightning in Marine Park. True story.

Would the story about the teachers have been written if it were a heterosexual couple? I doubt it would have been written in the style it was - talking about their tattoos, interviewing 16-year-olds to find out if their teachers were "sexy."

I guess the bigger question is if the teachers would have been dismissed if they were a hetero couple.

@LoSpaz: Its the Daily News so, well, it would still be tabloidish even if they were hetero. But probably not as much as it is with two "good-looking" young women.

And I agree with Ms. Skittles. They were undressing in a classroom and that is all it should take.

@LoSpaz: I think they would have been dismissed if they were heterosexual. Undressing and/or engaging in sexual activity on school grounds is a no-no, and doing it while there are students in the building adds another degree of inappropriateness to the mix.

@LoSpaz: Oh, it definitely wouldn't have. That would be a 'they're damaging our youth' kind of story, not 'lolz lesbians.'

Though I initially misread it as "getting ready during a talent show" and was very confused. Wouldn't it make sense for them to be changing for a show or whatever? But the "international language of love" line set me straight.

@LoSpaz: The story would probably have been written differently, but I'm pretty sure that hetero teachers would have been dismissed. Kids were in the building and if a janitor found them, kids could have as well.
Also-I think a teacher would have been dismissed if they were masturbating in an abandoned classroom.

@la.donna.pietra: I had the same reaction, but if you read the article, she was passed out somewhere (not the emergency room) alone for 12 hours with her legs under her (a relative found her). She is suing the hospital because when she came in with complaints of pain in her legs (she was still apparently very drunk) they did not correctly diagnose her in time.

A guy tried to fell me up on the 7 last year -- it was amazing overcrowded, because all the underground lines were fucked because of flooding.

I felt a hand on my breast. And I threw my right hook. It's a punch that requires you be close to your target, and doesn't take much room to hit properly.

SOB gasped in pain and got off at the next stop.

My best friend got followed off a subway in Brooklyn after my birthday party in Manhattan. It's 3 o'clock in the morning, she's a little tipsy and she is listening to her ipod. She could sense someone close behind her. She turns around to a man who pushes her against the wall next to her house. Luckily she had a cigarette in her hand and she burned him in the face. He kept grabbing at her until two men came and grabbed the attacker. They held him until she got in her house, then let him go. He walked away, back to the subway, and back for another R train ride to find someone else.

I always feel like these are the same guys who sit next to you and then spread their legs really wide, like the family jewels are the size of basketballs. When I confronted one dude over that, he said, "I'm fine like I am." Um, no, asshole, you're not, you only paid one fair and you're encroaching on my space. Either pay the fare for me, Tweedledum, and Tweedledee down there, or move the fuck over.

I kind of wish street harassers had a message board that I could snoop on. I feel like I understand the motives of car thieves, vandals, bank robbers, shoplifters and even some murderers. But street harassers? WTF? Who taught them that hissing and kissing sounds attract women? What do they think will happen when they comment on my ass or honk at me? Do they leave the house thinking, "I'm going to get an erection and rub it on some lady's thigh"? Do they observe long enough to make sure their victim isn't accompanied by a man? Or have they ever screwed up and bothered a woman that had a boyfriend/husband present who kicked their ass?

I don't live in a city with a subway, but I do walk everywhere and had been subject to street harassment every day. I have found it to have decreased dramatically since I adopted an 80-pound dog who accompanies me around the neighborhood.

@Gumbina80: I work in prosecution of sex crimes, and keeping up with message boards for "johns" (men who pick up street prostitutes) were part of my job at one point. It was that an eye-opening experience to read what is actually going through their mind when they look at women like that. And the answer seems to be that yea, they are pretty much thinking all women everywhere are ready and willing to accomodate their sexual needs. The only reason johns see for some of them saying "no" is that they haven't offered money.

A couple of years ago, I read a totally awesome article about groping on the London Tube. It featured a woman who grabbed the guy's hand, held it up, and shouted, "Does this belong to anyone? It seems to have gotten attached to my bum!" as the owner of the hand blushed in shame.

Oh also, this reminds me of a great article I read once about Megan's Law - it was about this guy who was arrested for flashing. He was a little slow and he said that he thought if he flashed a woman she might be turned on and then want to date him. The article went on to say that this man had never been on a date, let alone have a girlfriend.

Funny story, but the kind of sad reality is some of the pervs we're talking about might actually be thinking the same thing - someone will get turned on and maybe I can have sex.

Seriously, that excuse has pissed me off since boys in grade school would do things that would count as sexual assault and everybody would say, "He just likes you!"

Yeah, you know what? IF A MAN LIKES ME, HE CAN BE NICE TO ME! How fucking hard is that? Is "Please", "Thank you," and "Good morning" such a chore that he needs a nap and a reward later?

@Benevolent_Dictatrix (patently absurd): I have to agree. Especially since so many of them rely on exactly the same thing that many office harassers or even molesters rely on – the self-doubt of the victim. So many of these comments include women who weren't sure at first if it was an accident or harassment, which is natural (and I'm the same way), but we let things go way further than most men would out of fear that we'll be wrong. Or we'll make a stink and be embarrassed. Or we seriously cant believe someone would be that crude then, upon interpreting the event afterwards, realize what really happened and we want to kick ourselves.
