It’s definitely wise to have someone else looking out. I’ve got one daughter in college, two in high school. I’ve warned them all so many times about putting themselves in dangerous positions. My oldest isn’t wild or a partier. She’s a serious student and a strong Christian. Most of her campus social life revolves around Reformed University Fellowship, yet I worry about her walking around campus alone at night. She has pepper spray, but I don’t know if she keeps it handy. All I know to do is keep reminding her to make wise choices and continually pray for her safety.
It’s rather odd how we focus on teaching survival skills to women because it would be fruitless to tell men to not rape women. There are demographics that see nothing wrong with rape and we dare not contrary them
I’m an adviser to a fraternity and I have to tell them “Don’t roofie women”. It’s like “Don’t pee your pants and don’t roofie women”.
“-—— yet I worry about her walking around campus alone at night.”
The worries for the girls never ends.
One of my grandaughters,a senior in college,is a runner.
She often runs alone on bike trails which can be “iffy”,and also runs alone in the street after dark.
All we can do is pray.
