Seriously, does he not get the whole position of power and what that can do to people of any age? All this really says to me is that Carlson has likely used HIS position of power to get his way with people before and can't empathize with those on the other side.

It's why sexual relations between certain adults is also a bad idea (think shrink and patient, for example.)

Yes, very good point.

Carlson is a bully.

Carlson couldn't beat up a child let alone a grown man.

Hey, Tucker, get a real job.

that's progress, I guess?

coloring within the gender line

Oh, that is a miserable person.

The reason I ask is when I was younger and in the closet, this is the type of thing I'd say to acquaintances and coworkers, as a means of burnishing my 'straight' facade.

When I see men put this "lucky guy!" spin on stories of young males being raped by adult females, that is ALWAYS the first question I ask myself - i.e., "does the critic set off my gaydar?". Carlson, with his stupid bow tie, has always done that for me.

Aside from that, the obvious gender double standard he holds is self-evident, and beneath contempt, so I'm just going to let that speak for itself.

Truly pathetic.

It's always the adult/teacher's responsibility to say no.

That's all there is to say about it. He's loathsome on this issue (among many others, but especially on this issue) and very harmful to men who are survivors of rape.
