[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It just reinforces the fact that childcare is women's work. And regardless of what an insurance company says, they're opening themselves up for an employment lawsuit, just as if a bank said that black employees can't be trusted to handle deposits into the vault "to protect them from false accusations."

It doesn't mean that childcare is women's work to say that a male teacher, in a preschool or elementary, middle, or high school should be very careful about being alone with a student.  It's sensible.  I've known several male teachers who have had their careers affected or destroyed by crazy parents or crazy students.  [/quote]

Would you say that black bank employees should be very careful about handling money alone, because false accusations of stealing can destroy their careers?[/quote]

I think it's smart of male teachers and of preschools and daycares for them not to change diapers or take girls/children to the bathroom.  I suppose we can agree to disagree, if you don't think that's smart.[/quote]

Did you even read the question?[/quote]

I did, and I think PP is implying that male teachers should behave exactly the same as female teachers, just as black employees should behave the same as white employees.  Or perhaps PP is employing that black employees should never be alone with money to guard against false accusations, which would either be racist or smart, depending upon where you're coming from.

I don't have much personal experience with false accusations related to money handling, although I do know a couple white men who were caught and sentenced for embezzling.  But I do have personal experience with teachers subject to false accusations by crazy female students, and I see why a male preschool teacher would be smart to not bring girls/children to the bathroom.
