My position on the teacher/ 14 year old child liaison really hardly qualifies as 'puritan'; and i am, in fact, not a sexual puritan at all. I am smiling at the thought.
I was not thinking about sexual propriety or impropriety, or that it was naughty, or shocking, when I wrote my post.
If this much older woman hadn't hurt so many people by her actions, and created so much chaos in so many lives, I wouldn't have bothered to respond to nihil's original approving post on the subject. But she did.
I suspect if you, Terrence, had raised a daughter, say-- loved and nurtured her, given her organic foods and the right vitamins and read bedtime stories to her nightly, and later straightened her teeth, given her violin lessons, piano, too, and tap dancing lessons, and ballet, and, recently, gymnastics (she asked for gymnastics lessons for her 14th birthday,) and helped her with her homework, and taken pride in her intelligence, her happy nature, her straight A report cards, her kindness others, her humor, her beauty...
and one day you come home from work and learn that one of the teachers at school, a married guy going on 40 who has three kids, has knocked her up...
and she has the child, and it falls to you to raise the child (and you know what that will do to your life; the sheer work involved!) of that man, who is sentenced for statutory rape, and he promises to stay away from your beautiful daughter (she is so very beautiful that many men, family friends, neighbors, other teachers, men of 30 and 40 and 50 and 60 and 70 have already had carnal fantasies about her, young as she is; though no others have felt comfortable following their lust with the actions a seduction requires; or if they felt 'comfortable,' they didn't feel safe from some possible unpleasant consequences); he promises to stay away from her if he is released from prison; and he is treated leniently, because everyone feels bad about separating the father from his new baby...
and is released from prison... and he gets your daughter pregnant again.
His wife has left him; his three children by her are now fatherless, you note bemusedly, as are the two he has had with your child.
Your daughter's life is somewhat different than it was before this man decided that his love for her finer qualities, (well, of a couple of them; he probably didn't appreciate many of her wonderful qualities, wouldn't you agree that's probably true?,) should conquer any reservations he might have about seeing if he could f@ck her, and before he decided that sex with children was a beautiful thing; and after all, he was not going to force her!, he was only going to make sweet love to her so she would want it so very much, and how lovely that always is, ah love, ah those star crossed lovers, what silliness to think perhaps that teacher should have stayed away from your 14 year old daughter as your many lusting friends had felt was right to do.
Or do you think all your many lusting friends of all ages should also have felt free, without fear of societal disapproval or legal consequences or of even slightly annoying you, to try to get into your 14 year old daughter's pants? Sorry, I mean, felt free to woo her with perhaps the possibility that the two would fall ever so deeply in love and remain together forever and ever?
Maybe now that the teacher is in jail again, you could be sure your male friends all know it's fine with you if they all follow their impulses and make babies with your daughter, for you to raise.
Such romantics you and nihil are. Sentimentality ueber alles.
I don't believe a word of it, though. It's pure sentimental dreaminess. Some teacher with a hard-on comes and touches your dear daughter's life, and yours, and his wife's, and his children's, in that way? You'd hate his guts. Nihil, you would would shoot the bastard, lol!
