It's easy to think that noncing is so prevalent when your idol is one of the biggest ones on the planet

At what age do you think it's acceptable for them to be around males then? - You don't want any male school teachers I assume, until what age though, secondary school? - I know you like football, so I'm surprised that you don't like the idea of these under 4's & under 5's set up either, where they learn how to play - as they're generally managed/coached by males. I guess they all need sacking and replacing by females, but that will take time, and it's also presuming that women want to do this.

I don't disagree that it's probably preferential for children, in their formative years, to be around women, but let's not pretend that women aren't capable of abuse as well. Also, and I hate to break this to you, not all males, when around small children, get the urge to nonce them. Maybe just better vigilance and safeguarding, rather than banning half of the world from looking after children is the right answer.

You can pap on all you like. Won't change my opinion. Yes, there are unavoidable situations and yes, probably 99%+ of males are perfectly safe around young children.

Isolate child abuse cases and I suspect that the 99% figure switches around but your latent misogyny compelled you to denigrate the female 'half'.

Specifically 'child care' establishments is what I was on about as well you know. You're just being an argumentative fucker a la Cheese simply because it is I.

If I had the power I would ban males from these employment opportunities tomorrow. Seems you would rather leave the potential there for some reason.

And finally, I would remind you. Big Jock knew.

'latent misogyny' 😁

At least you have the common decency to make sure your misogyny is none latent 'sinister slags' 'flatdicks' etc 😉

Can't quite believe there has been a genuine debate about banning blokes from working with kids.

Couldn't make it up.

Millions of nurses, doctors, teachers, sports coaches and nursery staff fired overnight. What a policy that would be 🤣

Hats off to Bolty once again.

The evidence actually shows quite the opposite. Nurseries and schools with a balanced staff cohort have happier, more regulated and higher achieving kids.

The government have invested in policies to attract more males into childcare roles. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/more-male-role-models-in-nurseries-to-help-children-thrive

Absolutely there are biological differences in parenting. Things like breastfeeding and motherly comfort and nurture are vital. You can't replicate a motherly love.

But once a baby becomes an energetic toddler, they can thrive amongst male and female role models in childcare.

As a species we evolved in communities with children growing up and learning from both genders in their formative years.

My school journey

Infant school - 5 - 7 all female

Junior school - 7 - 11 female teachers until 4th year then male

Secondary school - 11 - 16 a mix, 1st year male, 2nd, 3rd and 4th year female and 5th year male

Didn't do me any harm having mixed teachers along the line, although I would have loved our music teacher to have had her way with me in the 5th year, she was stunning

This was the 60's/70's when I suppose men didn't really go into teaching.

You'd have wanted your music teacher to be a predator? OK then...

Well, I may as well pack it in because someone on the other side of the world with 1950's views thinks blokes shouldn't work with kids..

Mind boggles...

There'll be millions of blokes who knocked several out over the thought of a teacher or two.

Can think of a couple that had an ample bosom, that were wonderfully distracting.

What kind of bender didn't oggle their teachers tits or arse when they were 15?

Get fucked ya fuckin wet wipes.

Can you name em?

We were in the same school and same year but I'm struggling to remember any. There was a French teacher in our second year that I quite fancied but I hadn't even started puberty then 😀

Certainly can't think of any in our 4th and 5th year when I became a rampant bull 😀

There were a distinct lack of decent female teachers at my school unfortunately.

Seeing the girls running about in their gym knickers during PE got all us lads interested though!

Done- have a look at your messages!

When you read about a 15 year old lad having a dabble with a teacher it just doesn't stir the same reaction than if it was a 15 year old girl.

It shouldn't be different but it just it is.

The Simon Levy story is predictably horrific

How shit are the authorities?
