What type of guys get slurs like pedophile etc......
priests, scout leaders, male elementary school teachers etc.
in australia, no one accuses anyone of being a pedophile because it is the most serious sleight that is possible.
for example, i used to go to pubs, and i had a female friend who had a 7 year old who took a liking to me.
she used to climb all over me and tie my necktie behind my back (i never took any notice of her much) in a knot and pulled it tight so i had no chance of undoing it. i had to cut it off.
she thought it was funny and i did not.
she also tied my hair in knots and i had major trouble undoing them.
we played "boxes" which is a game where you mark dots in a grid on a piece of paper, and we take turns in joining them to make boxes. and put our initial in the boxes we made.
other times, while i was talking to her mother the little girl was climbing all over me sabotaging me, and when i finally realized what she did, she laughed at me fervently.
she was just like a little monkey or a marmoset climbing on me so i did not mind, until it was time to go, and then she laughed her head off (figuratively) when i realized the stuff she did to me.
i was not angry. i just said "you will not outwit me next time!!"
she loved me in a way because she had lots of fun with me.
i have never been called a pedophile.
maybe in the USA, i would have been suspected and investigated. i am glad i do not live there.
