		<description>&lt;p&gt;Jasl, the only options you&#039;re giving that woman in your club senario is hunt the man down and either a)marry a complete stranger  or b) have his baby and raise it herself. It&#039;s her baby, too. She has to deal with it much more than he does, and while I don&#039;t at all support crying rape for no reason, if the man chooses, after (if able) she&#039;s informed him, not to take part in the child&#039;s life, then he has no say in her decision about having and abortion or not. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And also,Abortion and baby murder are a little bit different.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;A few years ago I was visiting parents for the Thanksgiving holiday and I wanted to get away from the family so I walked to the nearby gas tation a few blocks away. Halfway there I saw a toddler walking in the curb of the street all alone. I ran up to her but didn&#039;t pick her up because I was afraid someone driving by would think I had kidnapped her. I took her hand and we walked to the nearest house because I figured she&#039;d just barely wandered out. Nope. She&#039;d been out wandering a few blocks but the people there knew who she was.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;if parents looked after their children more than they do about themselves this would not happen. if a child is lost is due tho his or her parents not taking care of them.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I am 25 and married. Recently my wife was asked to babysit her niece (6) and nephew (16) from 5am-8am while their mother went to work. Because my house was thirty minutes away, and I had to be at work at 8:20am and my work was only 5 minutes from the place she was babysitting, I made the suggestion that I come with my wife so that I wasn’t late for work. My wife called and asked if it was okay for me to come and her cousin said, “No, I really don’t want him around my daughter without me”. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I took this very hard. It felt like I was being called a child molester. To make matters worse, my own wife said nothing to defend me. She simply said okay, told me, and forgot about it. As childish as this sounds, I ended up speaking to her mother about how this whole thing made me feel. And it wasn’t until my mother-in-law spoke to her that my own wife defended me. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have 2 younger sisters. Both were molested as children. My mother was molested. My wife was molested. Every woman I know was molested in some fashion.  I understand being cautious with strangers. I understand not leaving your kids alone with family someone marries into. But I wasn’t alone. My wife would have been there. Furthermore, these people have known me for some time and know that I was a babysitter during jr high school and High School. The bottom line is that kids adore me. And I adore kids. Never in my life had someone treated me like this, but because of a few asshole men the majority of men will at some point in their life will face sexual criticism to some degree. Women scream for equality in the work place. They scream for pro choice. They scream and scream, and scream. All the while women are gaining rights and men are loosing rights. Women are in control of our lives. Its an unfortunate truth. Case in point. A women gets pregnant from a guy she just meant at the club. This woman has some serious power. She can scream RAPE and banish the guy for life. She can murder his baby. She can have the baby and demand that he pay her child support for the next 18 years. ….&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;As a man, I&#039;ve been the target of that sort of treatment.  I started to write in order to rail against the way society treats men, but then I realized that the treatment well-meaning men receive in these situations isn&#039;t the worst of the scenario.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Imagine the generation of children we are raising.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;About 40% of American children now live in homes without fathers.  Their male teachers are afraid to touch them.  When I was a teen I took jobs babysitting, but boys aren&#039;t allowed to do that anymore.  I&#039;ve gotten dirty looks for handing a kid at the store a box she was trying to reach on a high shelf, AND I WORKED AT THE STORE!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;How messed up are these kids going to be by the time they&#039;re raising their own children?&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;As a man, I&#039;ve been the target of that sort of treatment.  I started to write in order to rail against the way society treats men, but then I realized that the treatment well-meaning men receive in these situations isn&#039;t the worst of the scenario.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Imagine the generation of children we are raising.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;About 40% of American children now live in homes without fathers.  Their male teachers are afraid to touch them.  When I was a teen I took jobs babysitting, but boys aren&#039;t allowed to do that anymore.  I&#039;ve gotten dirty looks for handing a kid at the store a box she was trying to reach on a high shelf, AND I WORKED AT THE STORE!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;How messed up are these kids going to be by the time they&#039;re raising their own children?&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;It&#039;s really sad that this is what our society has come to.  Even women have to be careful of touching children and being misunderstood.  I think humans are actually hardwired to protect and by extension, comfort children.  We need to remember pedophiles are the exception not the rule.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Recently my girlfriend got a new job where she is required to share a desk with a lady that works a different shift.  My girlfriend tells me  this lady she shares a desk refuses to share a desk with a male because she didn&#039;t want him staring at pictures of her children.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My first thought was she must have been seriously wronged by a male to exhibit such intense paranoia.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But on second thought, I have noticed more pedophilia type crime stories on the news, in the papers, and on the web.  How many pedophilic priest stories have you read in the past year?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Maybe this could be attributed to more modern investigation methods leading to the solution of more cases, or more comfortable modern communications methods for victims to come forward.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Either way the fact is that the rate at which these crimes are committed is becoming more and more visible, and it is alarming how often they are committed.  It is hard to blame a concerned parent for such paranoia.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;A bit off topic maybe but that last point makes me want to put in my point. People go on about the collapse of family values. Has anyone thought that maybe it&#039;s the collapse of COMMUNITY values that has led to these problems? Families are getting more insular and selfish, with parents caring more about a 1 in a million threat to their child than the rest of society and the planet. More family values isn&#039;t going to help.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The other point is the media will always emphasise the weird, scary few   and never mention the normal majority. The terrorists, paedophiles and gun toting murders are taking over our minds. Stop consuming their salicious headlines and get your view of the world from your local community.&lt;/p&gt;
