I’m Sure a Lot of People Would Hire Male Babysitters

Funny how the first thing these feminists jump to is "sex discrimination in employment is good, actually."

Had a male babysitter and it was not a problem. He did a good job. Not sure if she understands the world equality at all.

Seeing as a majority (~55%) of minor abuse in the U.S. is perpetrated by women, I wouldn’t recommend using gender as a basis for trust around children.

ChaoticAligned · 2026-04-30T22:17:32+00:00

I wouldn't ever hire a babysitter I didn't know personally.

Mind you, I don't have kids.

If I did though, I would naturally only trust those I've known for a decade or more and have kids of their own to watch them.

Hiring a stranger is just foolish imo.

And hiring anyone without a nanny cam isn't just foolish, but absurd.

Considering how many boys are molested by school teachers and from what I've heard from guys who said they were preyed on by female babysitters I don't think you're safer with either.

Make sure whoever you leave your kids with are highly trusted, close family or friends, and make sure you tell your kids where people shouldn't touch them, doesn't matter who it is, if someone tries to touch you or make you touch them it shouldn't be happening.

Medium-Knowledge4230 · 2026-04-30T23:14:52+00:00

Now I would ask her: who do you prefer as a babysitter, a man or a bear?

DunyaOfPain · 2026-04-30T23:00:08+00:00

considering how many children are abused by female babysitters but arent taken seriously because its “the dream” to be abused by a woman at a young age, id honestly rather a guy I know than a random teenage girl watch my kids.

Her reasoning is why there aren’t a lot of male baby sitters in the first place no man wants a false accusation or to have something taken out of context.

If there wasn’t a prejudice against men in the care taker field there would be more men care takers.

My nanny touched me as a child. Bad people know no gender or sex

henrysmyagent · 2026-04-30T21:25:54+00:00

I definitely would not hire a woman with a septum piercing to watch my children.

It is as plain as the damaged nose on her face that she makes bad decisions

Njon32 · 2026-05-01T04:31:42+00:00

I, a man, was hired in my late teens or early 20s by a single mom to babysit a boy. I think he was 12 or so.

I think the mom wanted more male figures in her chlids life. I played N64 with him and watched movies. It was a fun gig.

orangejuice101_6 · 2026-05-01T01:05:36+00:00

Can we get rid of this whole TikTok rant style where people just say dumb stuff a 7th grade girl would come up w and call themselves “philosophical” shit like that.

Late-Hat-9144 · 2026-04-30T23:21:51+00:00

If I had kids, Id be more likely to hire a male babysitter than a female babysitter.

BloomingBrains · 2026-05-01T04:19:49+00:00

Anyone with sense wouldnt hire a random female stranger, either. Especially one with such clear hatred of males to boot.

Jaffacakes-and-Jesus · 2026-04-30T23:07:28+00:00

Literally a Matt Walsh argument

Mission-Ball-9625 · 2026-05-01T12:48:41+00:00

I wouldn't hire anyone to babysit children if I had them I didn't personally know, male or female. Don't sex traffickers hire women to steal children because they're more perceived to be trusted?

Atreigas · 2026-05-01T13:17:10+00:00

"hire a male babysitter then"

Okay.

Ill_Negotiation_4437 · 2026-05-01T21:24:38+00:00

Foid foid go away

g00fyG00ner0 · 2026-05-01T11:26:13+00:00

Nose ring moment

SufficientBar336 · 2026-05-01T11:29:35+00:00

I would not hire a man if I don’t know him personally since a long time

JotaD21 · 2026-05-01T23:56:03+00:00

what does she mean with that

assuming she's a feminist or at the very least agreeing with the leftovers of it, what does she mean with it?

is it helping women? is it helping anyone at all? heck, is it doing anything other than reaffirming their beliefs?

I mean it in the most honest way I can: there's a weird, disturbing pattern of movements who claim to deffend certain groups but can't stop themselves from spreading sheer horror

DatabaseKey8831 · 2026-05-01T02:21:44+00:00

Septum ring defected - opinion rejected.

PassengerCultural421 · 2026-04-30T23:05:26+00:00

The same men saying that dumb bs about male male babysitters are also the same men that would agree with her dumb point here.

xX_SkibidiChungus_Xx · 2026-05-01T04:17:41+00:00

People do this all the time its called uncles. Bonus point is you dont even gotta pay em.

Low-Dog-8027 · 2026-05-03T09:15:02+00:00

had a male babysitter and he was a pretty cool and chill guy.

HendriXP88 · 2026-05-01T13:29:49+00:00

I either wouldn't or would be really uncomfortable if I did. Does that mean that "all men" is a valid argument? No. It means that I'm not unaffected by demonization.
