This is why good parents give the man-hating babysitter got the shaft!

I absolutely disapprove of gender prejudiced people. They’re typically identified as woman-haters and man-haters and I feel that they’re a very toxic influence on influential people, especially young children.

A few years ago, I polled several people at work asking them the following hypothetical question:

If you had to hire a daily babysitter for your eight year old daughter and one of the candidates happened to be a man-hating woman, would you hire her for the job?

Because if my dislike for such prejudicial behavior, I have to admit that, on one hand, I was quite thrilled with everyone saying “No!” But on the other hand, I was initially quite shocked with their lack of understanding of why they said “No!” So in efforts of helping them to better understand their thoughts, I had to follow-up my initial survey question with several other questions.

“Why wouldn’t you hire such a woman?”

Some people could only muster “Because!”, but most others responded with “Because they’re man-haters!”

“Ok, but what’s actually wrong with being a man-hater?”

The most common response was, “Duah, because the hate all men! Hello!”

(Straight faced constipated looking smiley)

“Ok, you mean they hate all men to the point of being an actual prejudice?”

Most common response, “Ummm, yeah!” (while standing there looking at me like I’m an idiot)

“So why do you feel that this kind of prejudice is wrong, or just wrong enough to keep you from hiring them to baby sit your daughter on a regular daily basis?”

Unfortunately, these people don’t really possess much depth of character so by this time, I really wasn’t too surprised that most of them could only respond with “I dunno, geeze, it’s just wrong!”

So anywho, I started listing off some possibilities as to why it might be a bad idea to hire a man-hating woman to daily baby sit their daughter in this hypothetical scenario.

1. Their daughter is at a very impressionable age.

2. As parents, they’d like to believe that their daughter will one day fall in love with a good man and live a happy life with him.

3. Allowing a man-hating woman to baby sit their daughter on a regularly daily basis exposes their daughter to a routine unfavorable influence that could cause her to adopt some of the same hateful beliefs that the babysitter has.

4. If the daughter DOES happen to adopt some of the babysitter’s beliefs, then that could severely impact their daughter’s ability to later learn to discern the difference between good and bad potential partners.

5. Routinely exposing their daughter to a man-hating baby sitter could be one step towards their daughter never experiencing the true love and happiness that they would like her to.

I explained that none of these were absolute guarantees, just possibilities. But since everyone agreed that these events were possible, the man-hating baby sitter got the shaft big time!

I find woman-haters and man-haters to be very confused, hurt, lonely and self-destructive people who, out of weakness, find it easier to hate an entire gender instead of owning and being responsible for their own flaws and inadequacies. I’d feel differently if such people seemed to put forth a genuine effort to heal from the emotional wounds that perpetuate their toxic behavior, but unfortunately, I’ve never actually witnessed a gender prejudiced person do this.

Wishing everyone a beautiful day!

Peace, Love and Harmony,,,
