[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two boys, I would not hire a male babysitter. I just wouldn’t. I realize it’s a double standard, but I was molester by a male babysitter and it’s not worth the risk for me. [/quote]

You will one day reap the irony of failing to trust young men when your young men are not trusted one day.[/quote]

Oh shut up. What kind of parent would put their kids in the same situation they were molested in. [/quote]

Ok.  Just be prepared for your kids to always be viewed as pedophiles.  [/quote]

It's ok. My son will get over the discrimination over babysitting and daycare jobs. [/quote]

Nope.  You are failing to understand that boys are being discriminated for everything these days.  Just watch the responses I receive for saying this.  But it's true. Young men are the fall guys for all of society's ills, even if your young man is good, educated, kind, and loving.[/quote]

You’re mistaking accountability for persecution. When I was a young teen girls like me were discouraged from reporting date rape because it might “ruin a young man’s life.” Now young rapists get criminally prosecuted somewhat more often. [/quote]

Ok. I hear you.  You're right. Accountability is far different than persecution.  The former is necessary.  The latter is a very unfortunate side-effect of all that is changing in society today. [/quote]

Give me an example of an innocent and blameless young man being persecuted for being a young man. [/quote]

This entire thread.  Yes, persecuted might be a strong word but most of the posters said that they would not hire a male babysitter. Full stop.  There is no consideration for his individual maturity or aptitude for the job.  They just think that young men are likely abusers of their kids so they just won't hire them. [/quote]
