And that’s massive sexist elephant in the room that somehow it’s fiiiine to prevent men from working with children.

Considering the order of magnitude higher rate of pedophilia among males compared to females, perhaps it's better that we protect children than we try to eliminate all discrimination.

It's funny that somebody commented how if you change sex to skin color in your comment, suddenly it sounds very interesting. And then deleted it later.

So, is it fine to apply group punishment based on sex? Shall we apply group punishments in other areas where there's correlation?

IIRC certain sexual orientation also have disproportionally rates of pedophilia. Shall we highlight that and then ban them from anything close to children?

It was flagged, not deleted.

Nice! :(
