...all girls and young women need to learn how to NOT TO GET DRUNK. Know your limit and stick with it. Don't trust any male you don't know well. Be careful where you go on a date, always be in a public place. I know I sound old-fashioned and maybe I am.
Too many parents have shirked on their responsibility to keep their daughters safe. Parents must teach their daughters how to keep themselves safe. The first thing to teach them is that many/most young men will take advantage, if you give them the advantage. I know that daughters lie to their parents about what they're doing and where they're going. I was a teenage daughter once, and I surely lied to my parents when I thought I could get away with it. The dangers are so much greater now than when I was a teenager in the 60's.
Memories I had buried deep inside myself.
I remembered it all when I heard dump's words to "Go home and tell your parents ... *blah blah*".
Well, I did just that!
It was the first job I ever had and it paid $3.00/hr.
The boss man offered to pay me overtime if I'd help him after work. The job was to assist in the purchase/transportation of a new bicycle to his apartment in Diamond Heights in San
Francisco.
We got the bike and off we went to the apartment building to leave it. We drove into the complex (a prison-like cement structure) and as soon as we drove and in I heard the door slam behind us, I knew chaos awaited.
The SOB attempted to rape me. I began screaming and crying. He stopped and took me outside. I ran as fast as I could until I found a bus stop.
The next day I called that job and quit.
I told my parents about why I quit my job and they did not say a word, nope.
So on I went in life seeking another $3.00/hr. job.
I remember that man's name as he had personalized plates on his white sports car.
Sickening bastard he was trying to rape a 17 year old "kid", and yes, I was just that still, a "kid".
What a load is all I can say.
No recourse some 45 years later! 
#MeToo indeed!
& recommend for the rest of the #MeToo women out there!
They just did not really give a damn, that was the problem and hence the reason I was out working a job at 17. I said I was 18 and no one ever knew the reality of any of it.
It sure ruined my life. No job, no nothing.
I had to apply for food stamps but was turned away as I was 17 years old and my parents were supposed to have a role in my life. Uh huh ....
The counselors who work at rape crisis centers across America - and many are on college campuses - spend a lot of time counselling the young women into realizing that it's not their fault. Because most victims are only too willing to believe that it is their fault. Even some parents tell their daughters that, and it's so wrong and so unfair.
