Society has a clear double standard that refuses to view women as being capable of being sexual predators. It's why I take umbrage with the whole "you're only gay because you were molested" because they will only ever consider the possibility that a young male can be sexually assaulted by an older male. You go to any article about a female teacher sexually assaulting her young, male student and the comments are full of "hur hur, where was she when I was growing up". If it was a male teacher and a female student, no one would be making those comments.
Adding to point one, society doesn't want to view any boy sexually assaulted by an older female to be a victim. He should be "lucky". Of course, this goes deeper into the idea that "it can't be rape because he got hard" and that only men can be the assailant in rape. Heck, just consider how many people make anal rape jokes about people who go to prison.

Yup, and it pisses me off. For the response I tried looking it up...first result was as study on pedophilia...with all the pedophiles studied being males. When I'd specifically searched for rate of perpetrator. Also, the other study straight up says "Female sex offenders statistics are harder to come by as they receive less attention from researchers." While still claiming that 90% of pedophiles are men. How is this at all fucking scientific? They also are pulling a fast one by saying 5% of men are "pedophiles attracted to underage but developed girls." Like, what? That could mean 17.9 year olds. And even if it's something creepy like 15...that's still not pedophilia. It's wrong, but not pedophilia. They also seem to lump perpetrators who are of similar age to the victims into that. Again, wrong, but not (necessarily at least) pedophilia.
Basically, the "studies" I found when I even looked for discussion of female perpetrators were all haphazard smear jobs with shoddy data and even worse conclusions. Honestly disgusting.

Eh, there's a massive correlation, though. Just because not all predators are men doesn't mean that abusing children can't lead to homosexuality. Completely unrelated arguments, and child molestation does lead to hypersexuality and, presumably, homosexuality. Things being done to children before they're biologically and chemically ready will absolutely mess them up, including when it comes to future sexuality.
Correlation between child abuse and homosexuality doesn't negate the possibility that women can be predators too.

It is disturbing how open they are about it, and how it's written off as a joke.
Heck, just consider how many people make anal rape jokes about people who go to prison.
I've ranted about this before, but a pet peeve of mine is in cops shows (and other entertainment where the scenario comes up), some protagonist detective or the like - who is portrayed unquestionably as the Good Guy, not even some grey morality - will threaten a (potentially) innocent person with prison rape to get a confession. And no one - in universe or the audience - is expected to find that weird or terrible.
