‘Is this what it means to be a dad in 2014? ‘

‘DAD of six and psychologist Justin Coulson just doesn’t touch other people’s children because “it just looks dodgy”.
Despite Dr Coulson being a widely known and highly respected parenting expert, author and speaker, he is acutely aware of his gender — and how he might be perceived — when around children….’     more here

    And if you are homosexual you are even more likely to be accused by hysterical women. Peter Ellis? :roll:

    I am wondering why this “psychologist” has not identified the real issue here, that issue is that he is afraid of what he himself might do if he touches children. He seems to be more afraid of his inability to control his urges than any other “perceived” reason. That will be $250 for the diagnosis, just forward it to me. Thanx

      “…that issue is that he is afraid of what he himself might do if he touches children…”
      You have something to support that opinion? Or are we looking here at yet another slimy attempt to demonise those with the courage to speak out?
      Because that’s how your comment looks to me.
      Put up or shut up.

      Unadulterated pap. I have exactly the same concerns, to the point where the only two children I will physically touch in any way – at all – are my daughter and her closest cousin.

      The simple fact is, there are far too many people out there who look askance at a man showing any care or affection whatever towards a child.

      We are a sick society which has destroyed the concept of manhood.

      All honest men will be aware of the dangers they present. Honest men who wish to remain innocent will think as the man in the link does. Most men like their meat close to the bone, thank God most of those try to do only good.

    Society has changed from innocent until proven guilty to guilty until proven innocent. One example after another of this twisted thinking prompts one to be far more cautious that we were in the past. For example, there was an article a while back regarding forcing a male passenger to move to another seat before the airline would seat a child flying solo. The airline took the position that a male flying alone was a child predator by default. Such assumptions are common in the world in which we live.

    More recently, Debbie Wasserman Schultz accused Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker of being an abuser of women graphically describing him pulling a woman back by her hair and striking her. Why? Because she just wants to make political hay. The truth does not matter, reason does not matter, and justice does not matter. This is what has polarized peoples and keeps them from taking action that works for real world problems.

    In this paralysis of fear, we no longer comfort children. We no longer respond to another’s distress, and we no longer listen to one another. Our society just descends deeper down the rabbit hole of madness. It is so bad that even the public can no longer determine reality as evidenced by a recent study.

    And we did this to ourself.

    Not me. I make a point touching my kid’s friends and classmates, in appropriate ways and situations of course, such as back patting, high-fiving, play fighting, holding their hand, or comforting them if they get hurt.

    Back when I took my kids to kindergarten I would sometimes stay and read them a book while they sat on my knee. It was quite common for other kids to muscle in so often ended up with someone else’s kid on my knee.

      I had exactly the same experience when we were living in Melbourne (Australia), Mike. I would occasionally bunk off from work and do parent helping at the kindergarten. The kids were so excited at having one of the Dads there, it invariably involved all of those activities.

      There’s a noticeable, palpable difference in attitude here in the Democratic People’s Socialist Republic of the Long White Cloud.

        ‘There’s a noticeable, palpable difference in attitude here in the Democratic People’s Socialist Republic of the Long White Cloud.”

        Funny thing is I haven’t found that to be the case where I am on the North Shore. My kid’s kindergarten had a male teacher, a good bloke, very hands on with the kids. The kids (and some of their mothers) adored him.

        My kids primary school has three male teachers who are also very popular with the kids.

          hmmm, well where I am on the Hibiscus Coast is a bit of a refugee processing centre for POMs fleeing the Motherland. Maybe that’s the reason?

            Lots of Asians at my kid’s kindergarten and primary school (not that that’s a bad thing). Maybe it’s because in their cultures the women aren’t all men hating feminazis (yet).
