“This is a result of the MSM spreading fear (because it sells) and they and feminism have done this. It is a shame.”
Oh..I thought it was because the great majority of sexual and physical abuse, kidnapping, and murders committed against children are committed by men.
OK...blame this on the media.
Have you renewed your NOW membership this year yet?
I began going from child-friendly to child-averse years ago. Thought maybe I was a bit paranoid but, thanks to the internet, I discovered otherwise. Damned shame.
You are certainly wrong about physical abuse against children being primarily male.
As for murders, infanticide is highest among women, not men. And that doesn't even consider abortion.
Kidnapping? You aren't counting parental kidnapping right?
Sexual abuse. Well I'll give you one out of four.
It's the truth and I'm not a member of NOW. Anyone doubting it can check their local sex offender registry. A few women and hundreds of men in my local one.
Too bad though that we all get painted with the same broad brush. As I said earlier, your kids would be much safer with me than with their teachers.
It's true that men are far more likely than women to be sexual predators. But our society, while declining to profile by race or nationality when it comes to crime and terrorism, has become nonchalant about profiling men. Child advocates are advising parents never to hire male babysitters. Airlines are placing unaccompanied minors with female passengers.
Unbelievable comment from a very paranoid wacko.
Scotswife....
I fear you’re going to take a beating for your sad, but unfortunately very true statement.
I would tell my granddaughter if given a choice, she should choose a female of any age over a male of any age should she require assistance from a stranger. Although I’d discourage seeking anything from a stranger but given an unusual scenario as I’m sure you understand.
Most crimes against children, against women and against men are committed by men. I’d even go out on a limb and suggest that even the gentle homosexual male will abuse a young boy if of that bent.
Hey, one of the problems with having a penis is that you fall in that demographic which includes the vast majority of criminals.
It’s just the way it is. Doesn’t mean everyone with a penis is a criminal, of course not. But common sense dictates you play the odds.
The men here are simply venting about how we are assumed to be guilty of something just by living and breathing, and how it forces them to withdraw from life and society.
People like you are the problem and the reason for this. I’m absolutely sick of your kind.
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.
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.
I think there are quite a few female molestors, it just doesn’t get reported much. Note all the teachers with students... That kind of thing has been going on forever, but until recently no charges were filed.
“Oh..I thought it was because the great majority of sexual and physical abuse, kidnapping, and murders committed against children are committed by me”
Ahhh so men are evil. Thank you for clarifying the issue.
If the vast majority of the abuse is by males then why is it that mostly female teachers are the ones busted for raping kids?
SCOTSWIFE, you didn’t read the article. This is a quote from the sixth paragraph thereof.
“Children who die of physical abuse are more often victims of female perpetrators, usually mothers, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.”
Apologies accepted for your intemperate and inaccurate calumnies.
No...the VAST majority, no...OVERWHELMING majority of men do not abuse men.
Just because some women are absolute bitches, well then they ALL must be, and men must be cautioned to avoid them, is that it?
THAT is what I meant.
The article lists stories of good men who are afraid to help a crying child, to be alone for a moment with a child even in an elevator, to do volunteer work involving children, or to drive a child home. On the flip side, men are confronted as probable sex offenders by strangers when alone with their own children, won’t be visited at Halloween once divorced, and reprimanded for a child sitting on their lap when they are reading.
The article implies that American society believes that all men should be considered probable sex offenders and barely tolerated alone with their own children in public. Your response? It’s “because the great majority of sexual and physical abuse, kidnapping, and murders committed against children are committed by men.”
I hope your husband knows you think he’s a probable sex offender.
Uh...have you see nthe number of FEMALE teachers that are doing these things? Guess you missed that part.
I can’t believe how much heat you’re taking on this subject. It’s cracking me up!
