My wife absolutely loves kids. Being with them and working with them is her career and passion. She will frequently say things about kids to which I respond "another thing I can't say, as a man." It's all in jest, but there's also truth to it. She says something inoccuous that really can't be misconstrued, but if I said the exact same thing, I would at least get interesting looks if not downright condescending glares of "stay away from my baby."
It doesn't bother me, but it is an amusing and also unfortunate double standard.

The fact that it is in Germany doesn't help as German parents do not want any adult taking to their children, god knows why.
But it is true that it is sad times for men. We are automatically classified as pedo if we interact with children, noone trust us.
Sad times for men, in this regard.
