Ask Dr. Helen: Should Men Be Kicked Out of the Church Nursery?
As a single, childless male in my 30s, this is the type of nonsense that has caused me to completely withdraw from the world of minors. I am an Eagle Scout, but I don’t volunteer with the BSA, I don’t coach youth sports, volunteer with Big Brothers, or even offer to watch my friends’ kids so they can take their wives out on a date.
And I am hardly alone. Today’s children will pay a very large price for growing up without male role models and learning from their ‘nurturing’ mothers that men are something to be feared.
In addition, it is noteworthy that because I am never around children, I can’t stand them. All they are to me is loud, rude, demanding, selfish, mean, dirty, snotty little monsters that I wish their parents would keep in their homes and not ruin my dinner out. I believe this is a case of a lack of familiarity breeding contempt.
