[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's creepy, yes. Just like how I find male gymnastics coaches creepy. And male nanny's creepy. And male aides in SN classrooms creepy.  [/quote]

Sexism is alive and well.[/quote]

If it’s sexism if it’s based on fact?  Sorry.  95% of sexual predators are men.

If you want to prove you aren’t a misandrist and sacrifice your kids to a male caregiver go for it.

I’ll wear whatever label you want me to label and have protected kids. [/quote]

Actually, there are MANY women too. Most go undetected because if sexism like yours.  You just THINK you are protecting your children.  Good luck to them![/quote]

+1, I was sexually assaulted by a female coach. People didn't believe me because she was a woman and they thought I must have "misunderstood." I do think there is more female-perpetrated sexual assault than we realize because it doesn't get reported or, even if reported, accusers are not believed. I've read that this is also true for workplace harassment -- women harass more than gets reported because people are embarrassed to report harassment from a woman or reports are quickly dismissed as not credible.

There is also some gender normative stuff that goes on -- female aggressors are more likely to assault/harass other women (it makes sense, people looking for victims will target one who is physically weaker and who is unlikely to be believed). I think my assault was dismissed in part because both parties were female and that made it seem unimportant to others, like some kind of mean girl incident instead of a criminal assault, which is what it was.[/quote]

I said 95% not all.  You were assaulted by that 5% unfortunately.

I personally don’t trust my kid with anyone.  Not even my own parents.  Never worth the risk. [/quote]

This is not healthy and is not going to be good for your kid in the long run. [/quote]

Having a loving and protective parent will not harm my children.

What will is if they are sexually assaulted.  [/quote]

Realistically, education is more effective than a "bubble" at preventing sexual assault. Obviously one should steer clear of shady situations but if your kid doesn't have safe and supervised opportunities to understand how to interact with adults they are more vulnerable to being taken advantage of once you cannot supervise them.[/quote]
