Writing in The New Statesman, he says: "I am likely to usher my wife forward if a child falls over in the street, lest my picking up the child could be misinterpreted. We need to address that. Adults - particularly men - should not routinely be seen as potential child abusers.

I came to post this. My uncle is not allowed to take his daughter swimming or pick her up from school any more because "it makes the other mothers uncomfortable." He's just a short, bald guy, and doesn't look threatening at all. It really upsets me that you're not socially allowed to take an interest in your own, or any children for that matter, as a male. I really hope society evolves past that by the time I have any.
