As seen in this post, many men complaining they are easily labeled, or fear being labeled a pedophile just by being around children.
Especially this panic is high in the US.
I'll have to save my diatribe of how this is disadvantageous for children for the children rights subreddit, but back on topic, and in all seriousness, it is worse than being labeled a pedophile.
I often get looks in public from women, that seem uneasy. Uncomfortable. I feel they are just for being a man. I don't know what it is about me, I shower, I shave, but I seem to often get looks that I am doing something "creepy". (Creepy is a very broad term, with no specific explanation of what or why, that is used to express disdain for any sort of behavior that makes someone uncomfortable.)
This didn't happen when I was younger. When I was a minor this didn't happen at all. So I know the difference.
It is a hostile society, when I can't just be friendly or smile at someone without them thinking I'm making a sexual advance.
/Rant done.

I'm 18 and already feel this, I'm in a church choir and go to youth group and such, and whenever I try to get to know some of the younger girls (I try and get to know the boys and girls equally but no one notices me trying to be friends with the boys) I have been told through the grapevine that people are gossiping that I like little girls, and it's very discouraging and pathetic, I try to teach and be friends with both younger boys and girls because I remember that was a hard time in my life so I try to give wisdom and be a mentor because I didn't have one, it's terrible, I feel bad for trying to do good
