As an adult, I was working. I was a fanatical Christian. I wasn’t even on a date.
I was living in a Bible institute when I was locked away for two months. The things I experienced there I have never talked about entirely. I probably never will.
I grew up as the daughter of ministers. Church was everything. Everyone I know who was molested or raped was attacked by someone who was either a family member or a church member.
Her argument could prevent some situations, but so could not going to church, or not visiting family, or not going to work at night, etc. I understand why she feels that way, though. I used to think the same way.

I'm sorry you went through that. I was never arguing that it was a solution (nor would I), but that it could, as I demonstrated, prevent some situations. All of that said, she was never suggesting it as a cure for sexual assault, as I read it.
I only mentioned those things to explain why it doesn’t make a difference to me if it could prevent some situations. I do understand you and CL didn’t suggest it was a solution. I get that Smile
I’m just saying we could prevent all scenarios if we stayed in a bubble and never left it, but we can’t do that, so... it just seems superfluous to even think about. I hope I’m making sense.
