The idea that all women are safe, and all men are potential predators is exactly why teams like Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka worked so well to abduct, torture and kill teen girls.
Experts can say what they like...and I'm not saying they're wrong exactly, I understand the reasoning...but that it breaks my heart that my husband would be viewed as less safe, simply for having a penis. Not only that, but statistics will ALSO show that sexual predators tend to spend time with their future victims, grooming them, etc. We all jump at the spectre in the shadow, when the reality of it is, stranger abduction/abuse is the low risk. Its people known to the child that present the biggest harm/risk factor.
It is a form of discrimination, just as saying a woman couldn't be a mechanic, police officer, soldier, what have you. We, as a society, have firmly debunked that myth...now its time for the idea that Dads are a lesser parent than Moms to go the way of the dodo too.
And the idea that ANY man would simply direct a child to a manager blows my mind. Not any man I've ever, EVER known. Makes me wonder. I have three brothers, cousins, BIL, husband, Dad, Uncles, friends...and not a single one of them would direct a lost child to a manager or walk away. Makes me wonder who conducted these studies, under what circumstances.
