I've already had to have the talk at school. Fuck those assholes.
I'm going to diverge on that one. I pay for my kid's phone so I own it and its content. When she's an adult paying her own bills and paying for her phone, that point might hold more water.
Kids also need guidance including in their teen years. And, as an experienced woman... I know that if I'm not there to provide some guidance and advice, there are plenty of boys/ guys who are more than willing to hop right into that role with a young, smitten female. Boys who may not have my kid's best interest in mind.

I give mine guidance too......just a diff sort of guidance. My girls will never hop into the role of the smitten female. At least not that role as commonly envisioned. My girls are boys. That's the benefit of being Mr. Mom. I've taught my daughters to look for a man who affirms their agency...who want's what they want. Anything less is unacceptable and not a man.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
