A Sprinkle of Poin to end the weekend

North Carolina teacher Kayla Alayne Sprinkles arrested for Poining with a 16-year-old.
Once the students had to call her "Miss Sprinkles," maybe it was inevitable.

Is "poining" actually a verb now?

Is "poining" actually a verb now?

I generally don’t like making nouns into verbs (adulting comes to mind), but I like this one.

 

[Just the facts ma am]

How do you guys like changing the meaning of the word "assault" from a violent act to include consensual activity we disapprove of, yet appropriately laugh at on threads like these?

A lot more than I like having a stick up my ass.

I like it quite a lot.

I get it. These threads are meant to be fun and lighthearted, but sending young women to jail for having voluntary sex with teenagers is wrong. Resume snickering.

Wait. I get how not everybody likes these threads. But you're on the side of the... teachers?

Wow. Okey dokey. The world is full of wonders.

S'up Type,

I would be interested to know why you think a 22 y/o female should go to jail for having consensual sex with a 17 y/o male.

S'up Type,

I would be interested to know why you think a 22 y/o female should go to jail for having consensual sex with a 17 y/o male.

First off, the age range is rarely something like you're talking about. In this case, for instance, it's 26 and 16.

But, for the sake of... whatever this is... let's say she's not a teacher and he's not a student. A 22-year-old woman would not be charged for having sex with a 17-year-old in some states. She would, however, be charged in many states, such as California, where the age of consent is 18. Your hypothetical 17-year-old would be considered a child. Society has deemed child-****ing against the law, for reasons that I don't feel like I need to defend. So, she would be breaking the law.

However, in all of the Poin cases, the woman is a teacher and the male is a student. Which puts her in what's legally known as a "position of trust" or a "position of authority" and the student in a "position of dependency." In which case, the student can never give consent, no matter the age. Because he might feel pressured to have sex for the sake of his grades, for instance. What you see as a "consenting teenager" is quite possibly not consenting, and will be ****ed up for life, because his teacher decided she would like to have sex with him.

Also, JESUS CHRIST, MAN, ****ING BECAUSE.

Good points. Some thoughts.

If I am your professor and say I will fail you if you do not have sex with me, that is a crime.

If I go to my professor and say I will have sex with you if you give me an "A" the professor should be fired but did not commit a crime.

Is your opinion identical if it's male teachers screwing underage female students?

 

[Just the facts ma am]

Wow

No

 

[Just the facts ma am]

There is a difference between men and women.

Are we moving the goalposts? We're talking middle and high school teachers on these threads. Several states have decided anyone ****ing anyone under the age of 18 is a crime—never mind the circumstances or reasons. It's black and white.

Even in the second scenario you've described, the professor isn't being blackmailed. She's essentially encouraging the student to prostitute himself. That's... criminal.

If we're talking professors—as in, the students are over the age of consent—it changes things somewhat in the eyes of the law, but there are still places where she could be charged with rape, regardless of the ages, because she's still in a position of authority.

NIGHT NIGHT

So you honestly think our criminal statutes should discriminate by gender?

Underaged boys are fair game for female teachers. Underaged girls mean prison for male teachers. Is that the gist of what you're proposing here?
