Should Men Of Any Race Be Less Trusted Than Females?

[1ozzy]

It appears so to some

[naomi24]

In what respect?

[dannyk13]

Why?

Appears to be riding on the back of the Black Babysitter Thread.

[1ozzy]

Spot on Baldric.

Lot's of interesting comments as to how some think.

Just picked out one comment that appeared to suggest so.

[dannyk13]

No, trust or distrust is based on personal knowledge of an individual.

[1ozzy]

I agree Danny.

Still giggling at the first answer though ;-/

In what way? Men commit the majority of violent crimes.

It depends what you are referring to.

//Just picked out one comment that appeared to suggest so. //

That'll no doubt be one from me then - 'appeared' being the operative word. Read it again and try a little harder.

Naomi wrote 'Men are simply less trusted', 1ozzy, nothing about race.

[spathiphyllum]

No. You get some dire men, but you get some dire women also. We're all as bad as each other one and the same.

[1ozzy]

//Men are simply less trusted. //

One sentence Naomi.

Care to elaborate?

[1ozzy]

My apologies, I should not have included "of any race".
Please reconsider without the race part.

Thanks Zacs, for pointing that bit out.

[spathiphyllum]

People can only comment from their perspective. For me it would depend which male and which female to trust.

[naomi24]

1ozzy, my pleasure. Since most child abusers are men, it follows that where children are involved men are, in general, trusted less than women.

At least you've had the sense to back-track on the racism bit. Well done.

[Spicerack]

Definitely, if you'd been out with your young daughter and she needed to use the toilet, you wouldn't ask such a question.

[1ozzy]

Thank you Naomi, I'll happily admit an error.
As to basing a statement on gender I would shy away.
There are plenty of evil females, baby killers, abductors, etc.

Not sure where female child toileting comes into it Spicerack.
I supervised all my children, male or female, in public and trusted no one I didn't know regardless of gender.
Never made a decision based on gender.

[naomi24]

//There are plenty of evil females, baby killers, abductors, etc.//

There are indeed - but more men by far.

I wouldn't deliberately trust any stranger completely, but I remember my mum telling us when we were little, that if we got lost, to go to a woman- pref one with children, rather than a man. I said the same to mine. It probably is sexist- but so is real life.

[1ozzy]

Gender equality?
Will it ever exist, ladies in the boardroom, gentlemen trusted with children?

Works both ways.

[pixie374]

Perhaps when the statistics change, ozzy. Until then, it is fairly valid.
