Also going as a waiter the boss usualy says "this is what you'll use when waiteressing", it is strange how some people only see some work roles as though a certain gender can do it. Ive bene thinking of looking into child care since they desperately want more males to be a positive influence in young kids life but there is some bloody stereotype that only pedos or freak males work with kids and Iam only part freak

Staying silent instead of standing up against assumptions and stereotypes isn't going to help change things for you or men in general. Do what you want. Kick arse at it and show the world men can and want to be child carers without hidden agendas.

Gruber, if you want to be a child care worker, do not people's prejudices stop you. Male child care workers (and primary school teachers) are very welcome, as they provide positive male role models to the kiddies. And kids always need good role models.

Apparently some of my old co-workers told a relative that i was a very good Waiter

Just to bring it back to the original topic for a sec: the A+ forum makes sense to me now. It isn't about the reason and critical thinking and all that part of it at all, so the description is wrong.

The A+ forum is entirely about giving the marginalised and victimised a safe place. It's being done poorly, in my view, but that does explain why anyne who goes in there and tries to bring reason to bear gets told, in no uncertain terms, to FUCK OFF!

I admire anyone who can be a good child-care worker.

It's something I have little fortitude for. I can teach adults, but kids are out of my league.

Sooo much cotton wool. Not my cup of tea.

Yup. I have been on my best behaviour there, and I am getting into trouble. Most of the TR guys are either banned or on mod watch.

@ Gruber, I agree with Logical Block Addressing. Go for it.

True, but I hear him. If I even look at a kid on public transport or at a shopping centre, usually the brat is screaming or doing something. Mothers always give men by themselves this look as they shield their child with their arm and rake them away from you. It's a bit fucking annoying being looked at like a pedophile just because your male. Remember that incident on the virgin airlines? I get the statistics, but a bit of common sense would be nice. My gay friends get it even worse.
