re: #102 SanFranciscoZionist

This happened a couple of miles from my home, across a football field from the school where I used to work.

And believe me, in a lot of Richmond, women don’t want to walk on the streets alone.

There was a sexual assault at the school I did my student teaching at, and one at our local middle school.

This is not to say that harassment and sexual assault are not MUCH bigger problems in many parts of the world, and that the Arab world has a lousy record on women’s rights—but they are also damn near universal.

We’ve devalued sexuality into a commodity. While that isn’t the only cause, it is a major contributor to the problem.

We teach the mechanics but not the values and responsibilities of a relationship.
