Too much talk about teaching your daughters how to protect themselves from predatory men and not enough talk about teaching your sons not to emulate them.

1) All people need to reject religions that teach that women are to be submissive to men.
2) Our culture needs to stop regarding attractive women as trophies for rich men, and vice versa.
There is no awareness of toxic masculinity and how it relates to parent’s behavior. Parents don’t see it. Racism also has a role. It is a lifetime journey to unravel these behaviors.
As someone who was raised by a single mother, I felt like I had my head wrapped around issues like this. I was wrong. It wasn't until I talked to a lot of women that I realized my reality wasn't the same as theirs.
Most men don't actually talk to their sons about sex I'm thinking....not in the right context. It's awfully woke and all. I see most rapist are conservatives.
That would be the better way of solving the issue. Unfortunately a lot of people take the boys will be boys approach, just treating it as normal male behaviour like boys climbing trees or getting muddy. And then act like men are being attacked when educating them is brought up.
Valid in a homogenous society, but naive as it seldom is - plenty of cultures consider those daughters being whores, and their sons learn from both mothers and fathers, that those whores deserve no sympathy. So act, but don't let your principles stand over your daughters' reality.
Yes. In some cultures, and i don't just mean geoethnically, but enthnic and socio-cultural cultures even in the west, womens's rights are both despised and ignored. That is a sad fact, which upsets most people for a reason.
I tell my kindergartener boy students too that it’s called consent and you are not to touch a girl without her permission. We do zones of regulation at school and when I review strategies for the “blue zone” I say one thing you can do is you could get a hug from a friend with permission.
There needs to be a huge push to protect our sons from the toxic influence of a small number of evil male grifters. It’s time for men to sort out their own programs to bring young men back. Women did that for ourselves. We can’t do it for men
For real, we need to bring back the old ways of terrifying men. For instance, I don't think sirens were meant to be seducers. I think there were a cautionary tale against the potentiality of female rage much like Medusa
Yet nobody ever examines the tightrope women must walk between evading predators and mating with them. If every time men wanted to court women, they needed to sort out whether they were becoming involved with a murderer or sexual sadist, how easily could they thread that needle? Every new encounter!
It’s not just the ones capable of physical violence you have to watch out for as a woman. It’s the non-violent ones that feel entitled to servitude and our free labor.
Male supremacy is a bad idea that needs to die. And according to DV experts it’s the root cause of violence against women. Boys are being raised to become adult narcissists who feel entitled to dehumanize others and our species needs to get its act together as a matter of urgency for everyones sake.
It is almost as if people believe predatory behaviour is hardwired in men, and women must be taught how to avoid being raped, beaten, or murdered by them. It starts with smiling more.

Red hat gen-z males are fucking dangerous because of this.
Boys just don’t mature as fast as girls do.
Well, I’m a guy so…

Your point is an important part of the conversation.
It can be used to start a convo with young men
