WVW Teacher should not be Charged with a Felony

A 31 year old school teacher from Wyoming Valley West High School had sex with a 18 year old student. She should not be charged a felony because it's not as it would be if she were a man.

Gender equality is ideology. Gender difference is biology. No ordinary woman who is 31 years old can overpower an ordinary young man, aged 17 or 18. Therefore the sex was consensual, barring any blackmail. Moreover, the nature of the sex did not involve a dominant adult pursuing a submissive minor as would be the case with an adult man pursuing a female minor. Moreover, a young woman is more sensitive to bonding from sex than a young man, and it's physiologically more of a commitment for a young woman than for a young man.

Equivocating the relationship of an adult woman and male minor with an adult man and female minor is biologically incorrect.

While ideology is a noble effort to escape biology, we shouldn't totally dismiss biological considerations such as gender differences in our efforts to escape nature.

A misdemeanor would suffice as a legal punishment.
