I did hear of a man who applied for work at a day care center.  He was 
regarded as a pervert trolling for victims.

This is an unfortunate artifact of society's expectations of men (he was 
pursuing a non-traditional career), the fact that men are 
over-represented on the rolls of convicted child molesters, and the fact 
that child molesters seek out situations in which they are in a position 
of trust with children.
