Indeed and it has some repercussions...

She interviewed 84 male prisoners convicted of child sex crimes and found half had been sexually abused in childhood, by women. "It's just as damaging for boys," she said yesterday.
In her PhD thesis last year, the psychologist Rebecca Deering, from Victoria's Deakin University, found female sexual abuse of children is "more prevalent and more damaging to the victims than is recognised by society".
All the victims she interviewed reported the experience "caused negative emotional consequences as a child, including depression, suicidal thoughts, extreme fear and anxiety and an inability to express emotions … As adults, the victims experienced difficulty trusting women, low self-esteem, isolation and confusion. The experience also affected them sexually, ranging from excessive sexual appetite, particularly reported by male victims, to being unable to enjoy adult sexual relationships and celibacy." |

So it does have psychological damage to children which isn't funny at all.
