This is a criminal act against a minor, not sex. I don't see how sexuality is relevent.
I agree absolutely, and really could care less what any two consenting adults do with each other. But the simple fact is that there exists a hard-core lesbian culture on nearly every campus (found in the departments of feminist studies, womens studies, gender studies, etc.) which is extremely proactive in recruiting women to the lesbian lifestyle...primarily via the villainization of men and the instillation of an "us v. them" mentality. Straight but emotionally or intellectually vulnerable women are ensnared in that milieu
all the time.
The issue on the table was protecting girls from predatory behavior. In this case, we are talking about female predators which, while no better or worse than male predators, do often come from slightly different and possibly unexpected directions. Hence the prior comment re it being "a bigger problem than most realize." And what I'm saying is that there exists a predatory environment on college campuses which operates under the guise of academic legitimacy. My own dd will be well aware of its existence, and of its modus operandi, before she ever steps foot on a college campus.
To be clear, I'm not talking about consenting adult women seeking one another out and...yeah...that's all good in the hood as far as I'm concerned. I'm talking about predation, and a predatory environment that I think parents and girls should be aware of before they wander off to college and blithely enroll in that interesting sounding class on gender and culture...
