A website has emerged rating the looks of teachers who have allegedly raped boys.

This is Lindsey Jarvis.

She’s 27, married, a teacher.

If you were across the news on Thursday morning, you would know Jarvis, from Kentucky, has been charged with two counts of third degree rape, with police in the US alleging she had a months-long relationship with a teenager while he was under the age of 16. She had her husband of three years by her side during the legal proceedings where she plead not guilty.

However, if you were taking your news from a men’s sporting satirical site (which I won’t name, for reasons you’ll soon understand), Lindsey Jervis is an “instant legend”.

“That resting F-me Face. Those smoldering crazy eyes that pierce your soul. That perfect smirk. It’s better to have loved and lost a smokeshow SST like Lindsey Banta Jarvis than to never have done her at all,” the website reads.

For the uninitiated, SST refers to Sex Scandal Teacher, and the lines above are part of a series the website runs about female teachers involved in what they call “sex scandals”. Or if you’d prefer the legal term, rape cases – because sex with a minor isn’t sex, and the abuse of a teenager is certainly not grounds for what they’re deeming to be a ‘scandal’.

Earlier this month, there was Erin McAuliffe, a 25-year-old teacher jailed for having sex with three underage students. But more importantly, according to the site, McAuliffe had “the body of a fitness model” – because what’s a few sexual indiscretions and bad decisions when you work out and look hot? Not to mention the boob job that was “applauded” by the writer, because boobs are important, especially when you’re accused of rape.

Before that, in May, Tiffany Geliga was also charged for having sex with a minor. Geliga, who the website describes as “wasted talent”. After all, they say, she chose a “life of carbs, flavored vodkas and cigarettes”.

The list goes on and on and on and on some more. There’s the “phenomenally well preserved” Jennifer Frechette, the “obviously cute” Alexandria Vera and Sarah Fowlkes, the one with the “spectacular rack”.

Women, all accused of the same thing, lined up like your high school crushes, ranked in relevance and pizzazz; their looks apparently a talking point, their victims lost in the equation.

Ah, but it's a joke, you see. Satire. Banter. Edgy. Funny!

It's just totally unfortunate that someone forgot to tell this particular writer that satire is meant to be funny. Funny things are meant to make you laugh, and ranking the looks of rapists? Neither of the above.

The website has form, too. In 2010, the founder wrote he would "never condone rape" but "if you’re a size 6 and you’re wearing skinny jeans you kind of deserve to be raped right?"

He went on: "We don't condone rape of any kind at our Blackout Parties ... however if a chick passes out that's a gray area."

But he's joking, right?

Probably. And that, in and of itself, is a problem. Not being an abuser isn't cause for bragging or pride. Joking, however ironically, has a lasting and significant impact on victims of rape and on public discourse as a whole. Because when society normalises sexualised violence - when people joke like this website doeses - we accept rape culture and we create rape culture.

Listen: The blurry way we talk about consent. (Post continues.)

Men - boys - like these victims are having their experiences with rape and abuse discounted by a men's site that purports to have their back. One that makes a crude and misguided effort to objectify the ones committing the crimes, as if all women who rape young boys are hot sex addicts and masters of seduction.

The implication here is that the boys - their victims - fell for older, hotter charmers and weren't actually casualties of manipulation and abuse of power. Male victims of rape have a hard enough time getting their voices heard and their grievances legitimised, and deserve better.

Perhaps, as the founder of the men's website said in 2012, maybe we're the problem for having the problem. After all, it's all a big joke!

"People who have a problem with us," he said at the time, "have a problem with satire and comedy."

Of course. My bad. There's nothing like a few politically correct feminists to misconstrue comedy.
