I have worked with several men, both good and bad, just like the women with which I have worked. I have never worked with a man or woman who sexually abused a child, nor have I worked with a man who physically abused a child. Notice I did not include "woman" in the above sentence. However, whenever I talk about having worked with men, I usually get the "Were they okay with the kids? How could you stand to work for a center that hired men?" I have a co-worker who notified a parent that a private van service which transports her daughter to kindergarten that the driver was a man and the little girl was the only passenger. The parent requested another driver, which resulted inthe girl having a 45 minute ride to school, whereas before it only took 10 minutes. Go figure!
