paranoia I tell you....a pedophile spending 5 minutes with your kid is too much, a good loving man spending hours and hours with your kid is an asset, a good male role model, much lacking in this day and age.Inordinate amounts of time....what does that mean??? While I was a youth service officer at a juvenile facility, I spent 12 hours a day with young boys......and they were MUCH better for the experience. They saw males that were honest, caring, nurturing, interested in their well-being, protective, and any other good adjectives that you can think of. I really take acception to your analysis of the male gender as somehow more dangerous to your kids than are females....total and absolute NONSENSE. I feel that you could instill, in your kids, a totally unjustified and DANGEROUS fear of men.....most police are men.....most firemen are men, most clergy are men...you don't want your kids to fear these people...they are the ones who are there to protect them.
BY THE WAY, I agree with you, people should be described by their sex....not gender. Sorry about that.....fifth grade vocabulary!!!!except we never said -sex- in Catholic school!!
