"I think the point is not that men are generally predatory but that we have no good way of knowing which of them is, so we have to be somewhat wary of all of them if we want to protect our children."

Somewhat wary is a wise position. Casting wild accusations toward an individual on the basis of gender alone is not.

That is certainly a valid point, but many of those things could be said about murderers: many are average looking, many are personable, most are relatives or friends of the victim, etc. We do not constantly worry over which of our acquaintances is a murderer. Are the number of pedophiles in the male population sufficient to view men generally as risky?
