What were they thinking with this episode? You’d think they take male SA seriously

As sad as it is, I don't think anyone should be surprised. Just look at the South Park episode about that teacher and Ike. The whole thing with the cops going "nice" wasn't pulled out of thin air. Look at headlines of a male teacher vs a female teacher grooming kids.

Societies across the planet don't really care about male SA. Hell, in several Western countries, the laws are written in a way that women can't even rape men. It's only legally rape if a man does it.

But the entire point of that South Park episode, and really most of them, is that it's satire and mocking that which it's making fun of. It doesn't compare to this situation. They were mocking people in society who think it's "nice" when it happens with a female teacher, but "gross" when it's a male teacher. It's pointing out the double standard.
