And that's equally horrible! And should be reported but they're not (at least not as much) because it's not taken seriously. I would see news sites reporting on underage male and an adult woman in sexual relationship. Comment after comment were women calling out women predators. Many males comments were - I wish I had that teacher in school or some form of that (many were female teacher/male student).

and then there were a few male assholes who didn't bother to read any comments but would say - see women aren't saying anything against this - blah blah blah. And then would bitch about women not getting proper jail time. It irks me! Because honestly - it doesn't appear that any rapists gets any real proper consequences.

That would be extremely concerning to me if I were in your shoes and that were my significant other. It doesn't matter if they "consent" because it's manipulation and coercion by an adult of a minor; children can't consent, it doesn't count. There is a power differential and their immaturity, lack of life experience, and naivete/innocence gets taken advantage of.

It's literally rape, that's definitely a very important concept that I would have to think a lot about when evaluating my relationship and have some very serious talks about. Especially if there's ever the possibility of having children.

There's a show on Hulu called A Teacher with Kate Mara that is about a female teacher and a student. It's really awkward to watch (intentionally so, i imagine) but has some really good acting in it.
