Encouraging gender stereotypes won’t protect children from abuse

Prohibiting men in terms of child does not protect children – but it will move away from bigotry and real solutions, it writes Tom Tanuki.

I was disappointed in calls ban Men in terms of child after the terrible spat of the latest abuse in the Victorian child care centers. The expansion of this discourse is responsible for threatening a very small labor force of perfect male caregivers and hiding the main causes of real child abuse.

Discussion prohibition It was managed by men in terms of children in the media appearances on television. Louise edmondsA surviving lawyer who runs an organization called the Independent Collective of the Survivors (Ticos). Although TICOS has been online in online for a while, it focuses on gender, family, family and sexual violence.

In 2023 Mamamia The article writes that Edmonds witnesses a caregiver who is inappropriate physical contact with children and then sexually awakened.

First concerns written like:

‘First of all, the workers were not allowed to contact a child and the second was a man.’

Indicates Mamamia Article a subsequent investigation sees it ‘Connected to the pedophile ring’. However Sydney Morning Herald Scope of the same event states Australian Federal Police (AFP) He looked at his complaint about the caregiver and ‘He escaped’ Criminal charges.

In a speech on 10 news, Edmonds sat next to the boy carer Nick Stephens. He expressed his concern that a low number of men in the sector could stop working in the light of speech in the light of the prohibitions.

Edmonds’ reply It was:

“People like Nick – by the way, you can say that there is a love, care and protection around these children. But there are those who do not speak like a nick.”

Regardless of my uncertainties about Edmonds, it is more likely: it seems like the only authority figure that calls for banning male caregivers in the media. Meanwhile, authority figures such as CEO EARLY CHILDREN’S Australia and the CEO of the Parent Defending Organization Parenthood They all discussed the concept.

This rarely approved and poorly defended argument, still dominates the mainstream media headings. Edmonds, most news channels, morning television and more for the position was interviewed. (To the loan, the television server Karl Stefanovic pushed back Against Edmonds’ suggestions.)

At the same time, concrete changes in the children’s care sector and working with children (WWCCSchema. These are important conversations that will offer real solutions and protect children better.

Think of Stephens’ evidence -supported and popular call to develop First, there are always a few pairs of eyes that follow the condition of any child care, whether the worker-child ratios, so that a child has been in the game or the diaper has changed.

Surviving lawyer Emma Håkannson that call To include compulsory abuse awareness training, including the application process for WWCC. This will increase the awareness of workers’ awareness of signs to be monitored to define the abusers in the system as proactive.

There are thinnest details about not discussing the WWCC process. For example, employers lack the ability of a new employee to connect themselves to the WWCC record at the beginning of their employment. The only thing they can do is to make a control to verify that an employee is an existing card. Employee who is expected to nominate new employers. All you need is an employer with a loose adaptation program to not be able to determine that a caregiver does not do this. If a red flag is raised during a WWCC period of an employee, this employer may not know it.

There are many other excellent suggestions presented by lawyers, caregivers and policy makers. The issue is that the prohibition of men is a distraction of these discussions.

If this forbidden speech does not actually help children, families or families, or if it does not show real policy solutions, then what does it really help?

Megan MoskosAn academician focusing on the obstacles to the participation of men in care workers, definitions It will be the key to seeing that men are accepted as “women” and breaking sex discrimination in the labor force. Some of the studies are in front of the idea that gender self -ism – the idea that they have different natural natural natural natural natural natural existing in the nature of men and women.

He interviewed men in caregiver roles such as child care workers. reported Negative stereotypes around their sexuality, motivations to do the job and the potential of sexual abuse of customers. Just as Stephens observes, it aims to deterrent men from the industry – to prevent them from doing “women’s work”.

Many of the media organizations that publish male bans, women or trans people from women’s shelters, bathrooms and so on. (One of the responsible journalists Sydney Morning Herald For example, the article about prohibiting men in terms of child wrote an idea colon In 2015, women’s exchange to ban trans women from room areas.)

I argue that this helps to produce a main flow area that allows these calls to prohibit men from “women’s affairs”.

To borrow from another example of essence: shooting, fights or attacks are routinely shared around the painting and social media of young people.

If any of these young people do not appear white, we expect racists to seize those moments and encourage racial selfist platforms in an opportunity. In fact, visible stunts and deportation, racial discrimination and white exceptional calls in Australia are currently governed by the Hitlerite Neo-Nazis, which is currently open.

Platforms in accordance with the Australian mainstream media for their efforts – something I regularly discuss in this column field – but I do not claim that their arguments are actively legitimized in the scope.

Responsible defenders or policy makers will tell you that cultural or socio-economic factors are the main reasons for the crime of youth; I claim to be a more common main position these days.

Neo-Nazis who say that natural features associated with whiteness will be accused of guilt.

Therefore, for people who do not understand that the correlation is not causal causal when it comes to identity markers you were born – for example, abuse as a male predisposition by nature – then there is one “African gang crisis“To sell you.

We must be brave and clear when discussing male abuse against women or children. We need to discuss the root causes. However, the essential discourse does not help children at all. It raises the political cause of the bigotes and leaves security to the roadside.
