As a lot of other people, I have decided to move my posts and discussions from Twitter to Bluesky.
I never used Twitter that much anyway, and I can not guarantee that I will use Bluesky that much more than I used Twitter, but....
My handle on Bluesky is @maddoghall.bsky.social
@rachelgirlsheep@patriottakes The same issues occur with religious leaders having sex with their perishoners. It is the power dynamics....people using power to manipulate. Even if there is "true love" it is still wrong.
If the teacher wants sex with the 17 YO student, just wait one year until graduation.
@aoneflooring@patriottakes Yes, and you were all juveniles, in every sense of the word. You may not have understood the concepts of "power dynamics" that happen in a lot of teacher/student relationships. If the relationship sours the student could blackmail the teacher. She would be fired and jailed.
@RebeccaRebecky@patriottakes It is not the age DIFFERENCE that is the issue. A 40 YO loving a 60 YO is fine.
It is the POWER DYNAMIC and the fact that one is under the age of majority, the age that society says they can make decisions like drinking, signing a contract and going to war.
@DeeEmTeam @patriottakes Many of the answers here, including yours, start off with "a hot teacher"....what if she is fat and dumpy and the male student is just being manipulative to get better grades? "Fraternizing" between managers and their reports is often a reason for being fired in most companies.
@peter_pars54990@patriottakes Where they meet makes no difference. If the student is underage it is still against the law. Even if the student is of legal age it puts the student/teacher relationship under a strain. It is the same reason that most companies have rules against "fraternizing" with employees.
@MerriamWebster But they evolved nine million years ago .....and do the two ENGLISH words are similar ....right....which edition of Webster's did that first appear?
@GervaAD @cnnbrk The Supreme Court in the USA is seen as very "conservative", with three judges appointed by Trump.
That court voted to overturn Roe vs Wade and voted to grant Presidential immunity.
@GrageDustin@KamalaHarris If they are fighting for funding it is because Michael Johnson does not feel it worthwhile to vote for additional funds ("until after elections") until every penny is estimated and allocated. That is not how you fund disasters...funding is done incrementally.
Hamas is resurging in areas of Gaza “cleared” by Israel, forensic analyses show. Experts say the bombing campaign has accelerated their comeback. https://t.co/TkDv8Brre1
