I went for a walk today and this poll is a result of something I saw and then had to think twice about.

Good poll but I have to say it angers me when people think that women are less 'at risk' of being paedophiles than men. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Women are just as capable of being paedophiles, and just as disgusting.

Why shouldnt parents who love their children kiss them on the lips? This isnt a criticism of you, btw, just a question. I kiss both my kids (1 of each sex) on the lips, although now T is a teen, he usually just turns his cheek LOL. But my kisses arent sexual, my kisses are ones of a parent who loves her children. If you are talking sexual kisses then that is a different catagory altogether.

I have no problems with parents kisssing their children on the lips, as long as it's "appropriate." But when I went walking today, I observed a young black man who kissed his much whiter daughter on the lips twice, quick pecks, and suddenly several pedestrians and one passing motorist was razzing him. Calling him a "pervert". But it wasn't a pervety kind of kiss. And I got to wondering if it were a matter of society going, "it's okay for a mother to do that, but not a father." Which may be the case. Or whether it was because the daughter was obviously lighter skinned than he, in which case it would be possibly a racial thing. As in, "it's okay for a man to kiss his daughter on the lips if they're the same basic colour, but not if the father is darker than the daughter." Since I've never seen passing people razz a white man for kissing his daughter on the lips, though the only ones I have seen doing so are very similar in colour to their daughters.

uh, you're right and wrong.
women are "just as capable" but
men are pedophiles in waaay higher proportion than women.
