| Topic | How do you feel about male baby-sitters? |

Any potential candidate should be screened to such an extent that you're dealing with individuals instead of statistics, at which point statistics become largely irrelevant. Yellow posted... All this is to say there's a good reason we don't have male babysitters. That "good reason" has pretty much nothing to do with sexual assault rates and everything to do with gender norms. Women have been traditionally seen as caretakers, therefore women are considered the default for child care. Any other justifications you see are post-hoc rationalizations for that internalized gender role. Yellow posted... I don't question that. You should. A 96/4 split when the null hypothesis is ~50/50 is massively statistically significant, to the point where you should not take any such claim at face value. It happens, certainly, but with statistics as fickle as sexual assault rates (which are massively under-reported regardless of gender and must therefore be taken with several grains of salt before being compared like that), you need pretty rigorous study before accepting that outcome. And that's exactly what Dark did, finding that the 96% claim is not particularly well-substantiated by the study that claimed it, nor reflected in other literature on the subject. Therefore, it should not be accepted as factual. Choosing not to question it despite having this pointed out is extremely poor decision making. Yellow posted... we are the predators, the ones that go out of our way to find sex. You made a topic literally yesterday about a girl asking you out. --- This is my signature.
