Are you seriously suggesting that we keep our daughters out of fashion, academics, sports, and movies as that is the only way to keep them from being raped? >

Are you seriously suggesting that we keep our daughters out of fashion, academics, sports, and movies as that is the only way to keep them from being raped? > Do not ever put your daughter in a situation where she can be pressured by older men to do what they want in order to advance Are you also suggesting that we don't let her work at a FAANG company? Many of us are 'pressured' by older men to advance, if you extend 'pressured' to mean 'doing the job that you've been hired for.

> Are you seriously suggesting that we keep our daughters out of fashion, academics, sports, and movies as that is the only way to keep them from being raped? I'm suggesting you should outright tell them that it's very likely that at some point some guy will try to demand sex from her and strongly suggest that she should GTFO and call you and/or the police asap in that case. She will not only be protecting herself but all other potential victims and that's worth more than any prize she could get. btw, as someone else said: this also happens (a lot more than acknowledged) with boys and older (wo)men. It's apparently less common, though. > Are you also suggesting that we don't let her work at a FAANG company? Tell her it's OK to work somewhere else if the only way to get there is to fuck the interviewer. But somehow I imagine that's not the only way to get a job there. Also, call the police etc. > Many of us are 'pressured' by older men to advance, if you extend 'pressured' to mean 'doing the job that you've been hired for. What?

  > I'm suggesting you should outright tell them that it's very likely that at some point some guy will try to demand sex from her If I had heard that growing up I would have avoided men under any and all circumstances. Since I am posting here, you might imagine what a detrimental effect that would have had on my life. Seriously, all you are going to teach young women is that the world is a terrifying place and they should hide themselves from it. I don't think you can imagine how awful that advice is. I easily can. Re my last statement. If you told everyone of either gender that they should avoid situations where they have to rely on older men for their advancement, no one would have any job.

  > Tell her it's OK to work somewhere else if the only way to get there is to fuck the interviewer Tell her that if that happens then she is strong enough to report it until something is done about it. Don't give in to bullies.

  I agree. Sharia law traditions have a number of advantages. However, I think the costs outweigh whatever benefits exist.
