Miranda Devine asks: Why are all men made to feel like FIENDS?

In all of the situations given as examples in this article, the only helpful strategy which would spare them from accusations appears to be the grumpy old man routine shouting, "Hey you! Kid! Scram! Go run back to your momma!"

Momma may not like you yelling at her kid but she's not going to think you're a "fiend". And as an added bonus, you can stay in character and yell at her too, for being carelessly inattentive.

Just call me "Mr. Friendly".

These are just ordinary men, fathers, grandfathers, brothers, uncles, who have been made to feel like criminals around children.

In the interests of children, we women must force ourselves to reclaim the notion of male innocence.

So its bad for children to be alienated from men and because of that women should try to remember not to think ill of men based on a gender stereotype.

Cause you know...just not being sexist (one of the main tenets of feminism) isnt enough on its own.

It's perfectly reasonable to be more suspicious of men than women. After all, most child molesters are male.

It's kind of like how it's reasonable to avoid interacting with black people because they're more likely to rob you.

Oh wait...

Best strategy is to hold the kid's hand so they don't run under a truck, then yell at the top of your voice "Hey, whose fucking rugrat is this?" No pedo would attract attention to himself by shouting.

Well its a pretty stupid story, the man just described an hypothetical situation, he said the mom would be mad at him but no one knows if that would actually be true, she might have thanked him for it.
