Sex, Schools and Girls Gone Wild
By Brian Kirwin | Tuesday, April 29th, 2008 | Catch-AllIs something societally wrong?
An Arkansas special education teacher Donna Lou Sanders faces rape and abuse charges for having sex parties with students in a motel.
Tampa middle school teacher Stephanie Ragusa was arrested three times in six weeks for having sex with students.
If these were Catholic priests,…well, you get the idea.
Meanwhile, the callgirl of “Client #9″ Eliot Spitzer is suing Girls Gone Wild for 10 million dollars for exploiting her. Really! She’s unhappy that she was exploited?
Something’s seriously wrong.

So, were any of these girls cheerleaders? Nah, cos if they were they would be presidents or …, er, ah, doing something else in the political realm. Or is that just for male cheerleaders?
Is this what liberated women do? Or is does it have some thing to do with equal rights? Males are no longer the predominant sexual offenders. That’s progress.
Being a NYer I should know more about Ms. Dupre, but I just don’t care. Is she just upset because Girls Gone Wild withdrew their initial offer after learning they already had footage of her, and she wants the money they decided not to give her?
I can’t say I agree with her, and I don’t care if Girls Gone Wild has to settle with her—there are no heroes here—but this is a great country that we live in when someone can say, “Give me $10 million” because I was too young to drink and too drunk to know what I was doing.” A lot of pain and suffering there! $10 million for a hangover, sign me up! Gotta love lawyers!
But if the Girls Gone Wild videos includes underage girls (Spitzer’s prostitute says she was only 17 on the day the videos were taken for Girls Gone Wild) shouldn’t they be punished?
Let’s make it a class action lawsuit. Perhaps Spitzer’s prostitute is not deserving, but I would imagine some young women’s lives have been foreverably changed for the worse by being depicted.
I agree that the student/teacher sex stories are beyond troubling. I note, however, that by including the GGW story, your overarching point isn’t “somethings wrong with teachers” or “something’s wrong with schools,” but “something’s wrong with women.”
I took a quick poll. My girlfriend, my mother, my best friend’s mother, my female co-workers, my female friends from outside of work and most every woman on the street right now are completely normal, well-adjusted Americans. They don’t seem to think that there’s “[something] seriously wrong” with them, and I’m inclined to agree.
Is something seriously wrong with your mother?
anon, usually debates are easy if you argue with yourself, as you seem to be doing.
Thank you for your exceptional knowledge of “most every woman on the street.”
I think much too highly of women to use such terminology. But I’m glad I attract comments so focused on people’s mothers. Complex?
Brian,
I’ll argue with myself. I see nothing wrong with bloggers taking on points that are relevant to our society.
However when obvious attempts are made to increase hit traffic, without regard to the quality of the hits taken, I have a problem with that.
Agree or disagree?
I agree, and that’s not what I’m doing. Anyone who knows me knows I have no problem being the only one in a sea of madness to step up and say what others won’t.
I just see a lot of these stories lately, and I think it’s worth talking about. I see nowhere near the attention paid to it that was paid to the Catholic Church scandals, and I think it’s worth talking about.
And when a high-priced prostitute wants 10 million dollars in damages because she lifted up her shirt once, I think it says something about society.
OK Brian, I’ll agree that you do not need to beg for forgiveness.
However what has J.R. been up to recently? Now give me your honest opinion.
Perhaps I’m just a prude on this subject. Perhaps J.R. only attempted to enjoy a few extra hits by becoming prurient or something.
I’m the one who posted on this subject. JR just noticed what people googlesearched for and found us, and gave me a friendly rib about it.
Brian,
Yeah, I owe my apologies to J.R. again.
So you are the culprit!
