Use the bathroom.



Yes, men should absolutely be caregivers for their kids, and be willing to take on parental duties as women work, etc....

But the minute a MAN goes into a bathroom with his 3 yr old daughter to help her go... ZOMG ZOMG O NO PERVERRRRT ALERT!!!!

And yes, I blame these circles (and yes, they seem to have more audience in England, and Australia, for some odd reason) that have spent the past 20 years painting everyone with a y chromosome as the all purpose scary penis boogeyman.

Remember the brou ha ha over the airline that was requiring men to change seats rather than sit next to unaccompanied minors? ...man, the collective blame-a-trons and "but teh menzzz deserve it" crowd came out of the fucking WOODWORK in those threads. There is no group- i dont care if they're a minority, majority, historically disadvantaged or advantaged- that such statements would be acceptable about, except men.
