Whether it's B.S. or not, our culture tends to view males as more predatory, and women more helpless/submissive. The basic assumption in both cases then becomes:
The guy wanted it and got it ("and is lucky as hell!" yells the male chorus)
The girl was taken advantage of by the male teacher.
Honestly, I think it's generally fairly easy to hear the details of a case and discern the absolute willingness (and comprehension of their actions) of those involved.
