Sorry I didn't mean to insinuate that it never happens to women either, I just feel as a man there's extra scrutiny towards us when children are involved. And Jo, that's just ridiculous that he reacted that way, what a jerk.

I love kids, but I've gotten funny looks from mothers even when I just smile when their baby smiles at me. I guess being 6'1 with a beard doesn't help though.
