Who cares if it's a 50/50 split or isn't? Even if it's a 20/80 split, you're still playing with odds by believing that your kid is going to be safer with a female babysitter. Even if it's a 2/98 split.

Exactly. This is why proper vetting of a childcare candidate is more important than what said candidate jots down in the gender column on the application.

Whether or not men are more likely to be abusers doesn't negate the stone-cold fact that female abusers are out there applying for these same jobs. It's beyond strange to me that someone would advocate for hiring a candidate while allowing their gender to supercede their qualifications.
