Fair question.
Just your luck! My profane and devil may care arse once served as a public school board member.
Did I enjoy it? As much as I enjoy root canals. But, you know what? I gutted it out. When it was all done and dusted I got back much more than I gave, and I worked my ass off in that godforsaken position. I was humbled by the experience. Hard to imagine, yeah.
You asked, "How the hell--or why the hell--are so many female teachers arrested for having sex with their underage students?"
Where? Since when?
What are the percentages? Honestly, I don't have them. You do, so please share and cite your sources.
Are you possibly referring to media reportage? Is there an increase in media reportage? Since when? I'd have to say that that is possible but I honestly haven't seen any facts or figures. Have you?
My question made no claim to any percentages of sexual misconduct. I asked why so many are arrested for having sex with underage students.
As in the media has reported on many female teachers kind of like they are reporting on many men now, in Hollywood or Congress or whatever.
I made the point that women are disproportionately represented in primary and secondary education (as teachers). It was in response to an earlier comment you made that if there were equality (presumably equal numbers) of women in all spheres of occupations/positions then sexual abuse would have resolved itself already. And I was pointing out that even though women make up most primary and secondary teachers in the USA it has not stopped teachers from "sexually abusing" their students.
