"It's a male fetish"
No. It's a personality disorder expressing itself as a gender fetish.
This is not "inherently male". It is not unknown among women.
It is common to certain personality disorders.
Continue to "address" this problem by pretending it's a feature of maleness or manhood, and you will get nowhere.
The women like this are just as disturbed.

I fully agree. Women have been getting away with this type of behavior for way too long. I know too many examples myself. In essence, it is sometimes easier for women to get away with this behavior when the boundaries are eroded primarily on the emotional level and not physical level. The fact that women are expected to display motherly love and care makes it so much easier to hide pedophilic behavior to the outside and the kids are the ones suffering.
It’s perversion and it is wrong!
