Statistically, women are more likely to just straight up kill kids so there goes your harm mitigation theory.
Comment on NSW to ban people from appealing if working with children check denied

I work in industry. I have met people who are also in industry and give me the massive creeps. I think the current process is about making sure the most obvious cases are screened out, so if you have a criminal record or workplace reportable incident. It is not about making sure kids are never harmed, it is about the low hanging fruit.
In my opinion it is not enough. There absolutely should be an appeal process, but also the process for the initial application should be more stringent.
I also think people such as myself, a mid 30s male, should not be considered safe by default. While I know I would never harm a child there is no real way to screen out someone who would without accidentally screening out me too.
Statistically women are the outlier offenders, around 5% or less for known sexual abuse. It could be that the number is a little more even or less even based on reporting gaps, but I think it is fairly clearly not close to even. For some reason men seem to be fairly vile towards those they are supposed to care for. We need to fix men by fixing our culture and in the interim, maybe we need to consider whether current men are fit for this industry.

"Statistically"
I would like to see those specific statistics.
Please tell me where I can see them.

Thanks.
However, that report relates to 'filicide', and this thread is discussing 'working with children'.
Are you aware of any studies that show that women (who are NOT the mother of a child victim) "are more likely to just straight up kill kids".
The report you provided seems related to 'domestic violence', and unrelated to the 'child care' sector.

What in the gender essentialist fuck? You cannot bar all men from jobs involving kids. You need a working with children check to run an extracurricular class, what are you smoking?

Well, in general most crimes are committed by men so we should probably just throw them all in jail. That way they wont even need a WWC. No more crimes, no WWC needed - win,win!

I needed a WWC for a council park worker job, probably in case there’s kids at the playground while we’re whipper snipping or whatevs.

I also need one for a job where I have zero direct contact with children. It’s annoying, a cost and data exposure I don’t need, and achieves nothing.

Sorry champ, can’t have you raping the kids. Considered more male appropriate work like investment banking? Leave those jobs that involve contributing to society in community to us girls.
