Tony Porter Ted talk; A call to men.

[Catherina]

42. I don't mind

It was a clumsy sentence because my mind was on the lawnmower but I did say *or*. I don't conflate being reduced to a sexual object with abuse especially since many women reduce themselves to sexual objects and are never abused.

What I had in mind was more like *do you want your 12 year old daughter to be some 13 yr old's sex toy?*

I'm not a boy so I don't know how you develop but I don't think 12 year olds are ready for intimate relationships, or anal sex, or oral sex, or group sex and these things are happening routinely.

There are many ways to raise children, some are more permissive but they work when a child has guidance and structure. What I get from Call To Men is that they're asking older men to provide that guidance for the kids.

I'm in over my head here Warren because I'm speaking from a purely emotional POV. I have no sons and can't relate. I also went to all-girls schools that had an emphasis on strong academics, sports and preparing women for professional careers. I can't relate to a lot of this, not even the girls having sex before 17 or 18. That perturbs me.
