I joined this sub as a father of daughters, hoping to learn how to best be a dad to them. I feel sorry to see that sexual assault is so prominent still. I feel I always knew this (my wife also was victim once), but it is still a shock. I feel for each of you who have suffered this. All of my girls are so beautiful, and will inherit much of their mother who is stunning.
What advice would you give to daughters, to give them the best chance to avoid this? The more perspectives the better. I tell my eldest often to be assertive and confident, but she is so precious and I don’t know if she would put her own care above a man when she reaches that age. She is well behaved but very emotionally driven, and I want to make sure she knows that she needs to put herself first, and the right man won’t make her feel like she needs to tend to his ego.
Tl;Dr I guess, what do you wish your father taught you to keep you safe, or build yiur confidence, or what did he teach you that kept you safe/confident?
