Melanie- A lot of women choose jobs like pre school teachers or other “feminine” professions because they assume they’ll be good at it since they’re women.

[@hoodieboy1515]

Melanie.. Aw boi. I've worked at preschools in LA. All female teachers.. sketched.. they don't operate nowhere near the philosphy of early childhood education/child development. I've seen female teachers just man-handle children by grabbing the kids' arm everywhere pulling-pushing.. to sit down for snack or wherever.. also many who talk to children in appropriately or tell of young children. I report to my friends about what I see or how children are treated and all my colleagues say: "yea, that's the real world"... sad and discouraging for a dude like me passionate about early childhood education/child development

[@LuLuLucis]

Yeah, I'm doing an internship at a school (I'm with the 4-6 year old's) and I now found out that I'm not prepared for the bullshit the kids do. The teacher that has this class is also male and he's definetly 18371947294 times better at it than I am.

It’s such a shame that men in general in society get painted as sex offenders immediately. It’s because so many men are. It’s just not fare to all of the good men in the world. My dream for the future is that all people can recognize that men, women, children, chicanos, blacks, whites, Asians, every person of every type can have the potential to be an amazing person and everyone has struggles they must overcome. I’ve been on the internet just as much as the next person and I've seen every kind of hate and stigma online. What we need to do as a society is rise above it. Recognize that no one ethnicity, race, religious sect, etc. is better than the others, because we’re all human and I believe that all humans are flawed in some way and that’s ok. The question we need to ask ourselves (and the question I’ve been asking myself recently) is how can we all make the world a little less gloomy, dark, miserable ( because god knows the world is on fire!!) This man is an inspiration to us all to fight the machines of modern times that divide us. The machines that are stigma, preconceptions, misconceptions, and more. Ask yourself today what you can do to make the world better for us all.

This is a fantastic example of how sexism hurts men and women. Women and girls are taught from a very young age to fear men, either from direct experience of being hurt by men or being warned to death by other people to fear men. That’s why so many women may not trust their children around grown men. For men, this is very hurtful, because they cannot express physical affection, love and kindness, even if they want to. Even if it’s the human thing to do. They are locked in a box of masculinity that tells them not to cry, not to have feelings, not to complain, etc.… This was a very powerful video.

[@paintd_colourfulpics9396]

Actually the rate of crimes against women children has increased so much that people don't trust anyone easily now. Because you never know what is the actual face of the person. There are many people who on the outside may look like a great person but actually commit crimes that cannot be forgiven. When the news about a child falling prey to some sort of phedoplile comes out naturally other parents start fearing for their own children, wishing that their child won't face the same, get more protective, distrust every male. And in these the genuinely nice and good people suffer. There are some, like this man who are really very very good at heart and doing something because of their own passion but they have to battle distrust and judgements of everyone and these is only because of some criminals.

Also an elementary teacher. My rule is that I will never ask/offer a child a hug, but if they ask for one then I will give it. My reasoning is that I have no idea why that child feels they need a hug (they may never get hugs at home, they may be having a particularly bad day, one of their loved ones may have recently passed away, etc.) and I won't let bullshit perceptions keep me from helping that child.
