[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Getting so drunk that someone else has to explain what happened to you should be a wake up call to this woman. She clearly has a drinking problem and needs to get a handle on it. Keeping your younger sister company at a frat party is just plain stupid. She clearly went through college and just can't let go or act her age. No, I'm not excusing his act of rape, but I do think that accountability has to be met by all parties involved. Women need to think about their actions,and anticipate possible outcomes, if they are to protect themselves. [/quote]

I would really appreciate if it could be 2 conversations. One conversation with the subject "Brock Turner: the sex offender" and one conversation with the subject "Personal safety strategies when socializing."

I think that women should be taught self-defense from a very early age. This is one reason my daughter is in aikido and not ballet: the chances of her being attacked in her life are high enough that giving her some basic self-defense tactics seems like a valuable activity. She is 7, so in a few years, we will have a conversation about drinking and boys. During that conversation, we can talk about how to stay safe, how she can ALWAYS call me, and how I will ALWAYS come get her if she needs me to. At no point in that conversation will I suggest that if something awful happens to her, it's because she forgot her martial arts training, or forgot my instruction to pour her own drinks and to stay with a buddy always, she didn't call me, or anything else.

It's two conversations. In one conversation, we empower our children to stay safe. In the other, we condemn the actions of someone who violated another person.[/quote]

thank you.  [/quote]
