that chooses to be around children but the slightest hint of impropriety (even entirely fictional) will ruin not only your career but your life. Subjecting you to jail time, public shunning, and of course vigilante justice.

I'm surprised there aren't hundreds of men lining up for this amazing opportunity.

/and I know this will irritate some since of course all behavior is forced on to us by the Patriarchy and men and women are in no way different but it seems that women on average prefer spending time around children more than men do. Particularly other people's kids.
