Look at the OP’s join date. Just another troll. ---

> [@LadyMadonna](#): > > Still reeling from the charges placed against Jerry Sandusky for child rape and sexual abuse, I find myself wondering when something will be done to help protect the children more. Are things getting to the point where male adults cannot be left alone with children, (male or female), anywhere at anytime?? Are schools and organizations (such as Boy Scouts) going to have to hire female security guards to protect the children from teachers, scout leaders and other men in positions of authority? > > What the hell is it with men wanting to sexually abuse kids anyway??? I don’t get it and it sickens me. Testosterone. ---

> [@Bozuit](#): > > A couple of times I was in a bad mood on a slow day and found it was really heartening to take a break and watch the kids playing in the playground. Yeah, the sound of children playing actually does really transform one’s mood (possible exception being curlcoat). I remember this February I passed by a guy wearing a wifebeater, someone washing their car and children playing in the playground and was heartened that summer may have arrived (at all in England, rather than “early”). > [@Great Antibob](#): > > Substitute “brown” or “black” for “man”, and we come around to racial profiling. Perhaps the word you’re looking for is sexism? Oh and Czarcasm, don’t take the piss. ---

> [@gamerunknown](#): > > Perhaps the word you’re looking for is sexism? In the same sense racial profiling is often a thin cover for racism, perhaps. I would use the phrase “sexual profiling” but that sounds dirty (oh, and I call dibs on that as a band name). I guess “gender profiling” would be the PC term for it. ---
