Forget about sex education. Why don't we teach our girls how to protect themselves. We need to stop teaching them they need to be 'nice' and instead teach them how to be discerning and aware of their surroundings.
The woman hiker in Georgia would probably be alive if she hadn't been so nice and instead was more cautious of men.
It's sad that this is what it's come to but lets get over the regrets of where our society is and start living in reality.
Okay, I'll get off my soapbox now.  |
That is so true. As people with MS, and especially those of us who are female, it is all the more imperative that we be protective and cautious with our personal safety. So many of us have visible handicaps, which make us easy targets for crime. I have learned from experience that being nice is not always beneficial to our safety.
