[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry- nope. I would not be ok with that. [/quote] Why? I have a boy. Should I be worried about every female teacher or babysitter?[/quote] When you look at the arrest pictures of child pornography rings, they are men. Very rarely do you see women pictured. Now, this preschool teacher might be the best preschool teacher in the world with zero ill intent. But my opinion and my feeling is I would not be OK with giving a male unrestricted access to my three-year-old who needs a lot of help in the bathroom. [/quote] But like.... how do you feel about dads in general? As your kids get older, would you trust another male parent to watch them the way you would a female parent? I was raised by a single dad and I find that the bias against male caregivers gets really problematic really fast. [b] It's true that men are statistically more likely to commit these kinds of crimes but we're still talking about something most humans would never do, and discriminating against all men is a really troubling overreaction.[/b] Obviously be conscientious, research your daycare, choose people and a place you're comfortable with, but I think this is going too far.[/quote] Child sexual abuse, rape, incest, etc. are crimes that are so under-reported that I don't agree with the bolded above. [/quote] I get your point, but I still find it really extreme to essentially blame all men for this. Men make good carers. Women make good carers. Precautions are appropriate but sex-based discrimination is as problematic here as it is elsewhere.[/quote]
