I don’t doubt you, but I should look for the article I based that comment on. It was here on the forum somewhere.
Thanks.
I (a guy) don't have trouble accepting that this is likely true (I know other guys on this thread might disagree).However,even assuming that it's true what percentage of the 12 year old to 100 year old male population are molesters? I honesty don't know the answer to that.Could it be 1%....or 5%...or 20%? Whatever it is it's certainly not 100%.
So one must ask what are kids missing out on because normal,moral guys (99%...or 95%...or 80% of the male population) have to assume that kids are ticking time bombs just waiting to get you sued,or jailed,because you smiled at him/her? Maybe not much...maybe a lot.I,personally,am not angered by this situation but I am saddened by it because I look back at my Dad,uncles and other guys and know that they never did anything bad to me and I'm glad that they didn't treat me like kind of Typhoid Billy.
I thought it was just me being paranoid. A little while ago some little kid was in distress-he looked lost or something. I wanted to help but stayed away.
I never had a babysitter who wasn’t either a Grandma or Aunt.
Was this the case? Wenatchee was a different case.
(It happened I knew just a few of the folks involved, and later somewhat followed the last case in the Wall Street Journal, there were editorials every few months calling for their pardons and release.)
No it’s because the great majority of blame comes from leftist jerks who want to (and have) immasculate the American Male.
Now live with the consequences.
It’s the media and the feminanzis, case closed. The power of the media is so strong that even some here believe paranoid behaviour is perfectly rational, and that they’ve arrived at it themselves, when they’re in fact acting like puppets on a string. Pity.
When I see a woman, I just assume she is a teacher who has had sex with some of her underage students.
;-)
And the war on men and boys continues...
Maybe sooner. I recall on TV an adult woman pointing to a female doll and asking a three year old girl if some guy had touched her in this place and then that. Talk about creeped out - when my nieces were three years old I would grab them any way that would keep me from dropping them as I swung them about. Good thing it wasn't any of my nieces being shown the doll.
You raise your hand?
While there is truly horrible damage in the deed, one cannot under-estimate the damage from the accusation itself.
Once that bell has been rung, the alleged perp might as well commit suicide. There will always be whispering, the reports will always be found on search engines, and the arrest report will always be on public display.
Yes, I’m one of the people who don’t have anything to do w/ kids since I’ve seen people destroyed with an accusation from a troubled child or teen. It’s not worth the risk.
Today you have to pretend that children are radioactive. In the above situation, you should have just torn off a towel and handed it to the boy.
I’m so paranoid around children, I even hesitated participating in this thread!
“Its just the way it is. Doesnt mean everyone with a penis is a criminal, of course not. But common sense dictates you play the odds.”
It wasn’t my intention to state everyone with a penis is a criminal.
Unfortunately - most criminals who commit these types of crimes have penises.
This seems to be upsetting to some folks here...oh well.
also from the article...
“It’s true that men are far more likely than women to be sexual predators.”
i understand perfectly
