Children are being taught that all men are dangerous. As some are pointing out:
Peter Stearns, a George Mason University professor who studies fear and anxiety, confirms that children are tending to regard every male stranger “as a potential evildoer.” Relatedly, he notes, “there’s an overconfidence in female virtues.”Putting the matter in perspective, Benjamin Radford, who researches statistics on predators, concludes, “The number of men who will hurt a child is tiny compared to the population.”
The Instapundit is right.
If you stereotyped on race the same way, you’d be regarded as a hopeless bigot
But he doesn’t go far enough. It is bigotry.
