How about instead of focusing on teaching our daughters to be safe and not get raped we focus on teaching our sons about…

As a mom to only boys, I have to say that I don’t know anyone that doesn’t try to instill good boundaries, respect, and a strong moral compass into their sons.

I also want to add that women aren’t the only ones being raped and assaulted.

I have 3 son's 2are much older ages 22&15 yrs old from a young age I have taught them respect women.Don't ever put your hands on a woman and No means no...In reality it's not your average man raping women.girls. or even boys. men (They are a Freaking sick individual who want Control)&etc !.Women need also to learn you can't trust every man you meet either and be aware of your surroundings at all times that's the world we live in

Yes, because there is such a double standard when it comes to boys dating and girls dating. Teach your son to be someone you would want your daughter to be with.

@boymamachronicles it's absolutely disgusting.

truth. i agree they need to be focused on equally but i grew up being told "dress like a whore get treated like a whore" and it was messed up. sad that when a girl gets sexually assaulted people say "well look at how she was dressed what did you expect?" UMM a compliment? not to get raped??

@queenmeeks 👏👏👏

@ishabroadway21 no we shouldn't, but our daughters need to know how to protect themselves, because unfortunately it happens! I have 1 daughter, she is taught to defend herself and any situation, my son's are taught the same, they are both taught how wrong it is to do such a thing. They need to be prepared for what sort of fucked up shit the people in this world is capable of, and men, get raped as well.

As you said, focus on teaching them that no means no, and that’s from anyone. To couple with this, folks should stop forcing their children to hug every family member they see, stop forcing them to say hi to people, stop forcing them to refer to people as sir or ma’am. You’re setting them up to be lured into a false sense of security and then these babies feel like they have to do whatever uncle joe from 5 generations back says because he is the elder. NO! Give your babies bodily autonomy and respect! They’re people too, not robots.

@trailer_trash_queen no. We should not have to focus on not getting raped. Its fucked up that we can't walk down the street without being terrified of being abducted and raped.

Both need to be focused on equally.
