Not true. Over here in Germany I was once out working out at my usual calisthenics ground where sometimes a lot of children and parents come by as well. So some of these kids started talking to me asking random questions and stuff and I chatted back and one of their mothers came up to me like I was some pedo harrassing her little ones and screamed at me to stop talking to them. And it was in broad daylight as well, with many people around! Sad times for men, in this regard. |

My wife absolutely loves kids. Being with them and working with them is her career and passion. She will frequently say things about kids to which I respond "another thing I can't say, as a man." It's all in jest, but there's also truth to it. She says something inoccuous that really can't be misconstrued, but if I said the exact same thing, I would at least get interesting looks if not downright condescending glares of "stay away from my baby."
It doesn't bother me, but it is an amusing and also unfortunate double standard.
