““If that weren’t true, the media wouldn’t be reporting it...” Really? So now the MSM are the bringers of truth? When did that happen? I must have missed that shift in reality.
Your point, based on the MSM, may be true, but I wouldn’t claim it to be so because of your source.”
are you suggesting that when the MSM reports that men are kidnapping, raping, and killing children, that is really a bunch of women?
Are you suggesting that when Dateline set up internet stings for perverts, that -really - a bunch of women showed up?
Are you suggesting that the MSM controls the data on sex offender lists nationwide?
are you suggesting that the police are lying when they say it’s mostly men who are responding to them online when they pose as kids?
Haven’t you been receiving notices in the mail when a sex offender moves into your neighborhood?
How many times have you seen a woman’s photo on those notices?
That is why the fear is there.
It isn’t the fault of the MSM, and it isn’t the fault of women.
Parents are MOST AFRAID of someone kidnapping, raping, and killing their child.
I am fully aware that most men are completely trustworthy.
I have not advocated demonizing all men.
My children have a great deal of contact with many men who are not their father - I just make sure we know them well.
I do not send them into public restrooms alone.
They go with another brother or their father - afterall, Senator Craig may be in there (yes - I’m only kidding)
I teach them to be polite and respectful.
I have not taught them to fear men.
I HAVE taught them to never walk up close to a car if someone (male or female) stops to ask them questions.
I HAVE taught them to never walk away with a stranger even if they want to show them a puppy or buy them ice cream (I bet my 6 yr. old still would anyway - say “ice cream” and he’ll do anything)
They have contact with priests despite the fear that is out there because of that scandal.
The Church has responded by making sure there are always at least 2 adults present during activities involving children.
This protects the kids and also the priest from false accusations.
While everyone here is hellbent on mischaracterizing me as some whacko - my POINT is that the FEAR is based on statistics. THE FEAR is not because of the MSM, or because women are bitches.
That was the point I first responded to.
Better read my post again, and try to comprehend it. You are trotting out the MSM as a source of truth. Bad choice. Use other sources to make your point. There are plenty of them.
Also, don’t put words in my post. I was speaking to a specific issue, and you went on a tirade.
