Avoiding Kids: How Men Cope With Being Cast as Predators.
These days, if Rian Romoli accidentally bumps into a child, he quickly raises his hands above his shoulders. "I don't want to give even the slightest indication that any inadvertent touching occurred," says Mr. Romoli, an economist in La Cañada Flintridge, Calif.

Ted Wallis, a doctor in Austin, Texas, recently came upon a lost child in tears in a mall. His first instinct was to help, but he feared people might consider him a predator. He walked away. "Being male," he explains, "I am guilty until proven innocent."

In San Diego, retiree Ralph Castro says he won't allow himself to be alone with a child -- even in an elevator.

Last month, I wrote about how our culture teaches children to fear men. Hundreds of men responded, many lamenting that they've now become fearful of children.

Frank McEnulty, a builder in Long Beach, Calif., was once a Boy Scout scoutmaster. "Today, I wouldn't do that job for anything," he says. "All it takes is for one kid to get ticked off at you for something and tell his parents you were acting weird on the campout."

Tästä saalistajasta muistuukin mieleen Hollannin ns. pedofiilipuolue, jonka tarkoituksena oli - *gasp* - muuttaa voimassaolevaa lakia demokratian keinoin, ja miten kärkkäästi varsinkin naisihmiset olisivat halunneet kieltää sen toiminnan.

Odotan innolla samanlaista reaktiota Suomeen šaria-lakia ajavan islamilaisen puolueen kieltämiseksi. Joku voisi luulla, että pörröiset pikku muhamettilaissöpöläiset eivät ole hyvä maalitaulu naisjärjestöille, mutta tämän järjestön nokkamiehenäpä onkin valkoinen, suomalainen heteromies!
