Being attractive certainly makes for a more complex issue when dealing with males in a professional capacity. However, the truth to the matter is that men who abuse women or children are not after their looks. I've seen very unattractive females have difficulties with sexist offenders. Females are far more sensitive to these very important issues IMO and can communicate more effectively than most of their male counterparts.
The important issue really is safety. If I just so happen to be the best looking red headed female PO who is by far the most skilled at working with sex offenders would it be a wise choice to assign me a case who is a male rapist paroled after serving 20 years for raping 6 red headed female law enforcement officers? I think not.
Regardless of the professional's gender it's my opinion that the professional should choose mentors of the opposite sex, race and viewpoints to stay balanced and well informed. Although I agree partially with Quest's stance regarding same gender interaction with sex offenders in regards to understanding male sexuality, I also would be cautious of male professionals who tend to sympathize just a tad too much. Males are far more vulnerable in this regard and I hope to God they seek female mentoring.
I wish I can remember which thread in the general forum in regards to the debates with Valerie and Eagle, but let's be honest. How many of us see their issues as a sexist issue? Is Eagle a professional? Sure he is. Does he do a great job? I have no reason to doubt it. Could he benefit from female mentoring? Of course. All he'd have to do is lower the testosterone a notch and verbalize a little better by addressing vulnerable situations. In my heart I don't really believe he is blaming mothers. I think he's pointing out possible targets. I could be wrong, but because he's a male I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt here. (hehhe)
