Sexism at Church

I was going to church (I go to two different ones on different nights)and the preschool room was short of teachers. I have had some experience with kids. After all I teach them in the public schools. My job this morning was a pre-K group of kids. I help out a few times a month at my child's pre-school as well.

So, I volunteered to help out. Everything was going as I expected. Some mothers looked at me in an odd manner when dropping their kids off. No problems there. I understand far more about sex offenders than most of these parents realize.

But then the kicker came. My daughter had the stinky diaper. I got her up to change her and the other "teacher" told me I couldn't change her diaper. This seemed odd to me as I was sure that she knew I was her father. After all, I drop off and pick up my daughter each week, and this teacher has no problems giving me my child back at the end of service. She informed me that no men could change diapers, even diapers of their own children. Hmm, if I was a molester of my own children, wouldn't I do that at home?

Well, I am usually for sexism, but sometimes it is downright illogical.

Sexism is not the problem here...

it's called Legalism.

Sexism may be the basis for the law/rule (more men are sex offenders than women), but she, knowing you were changing your own childs diaper, should have let you - rules be ...ahh... blasted.
