No-one had a problem with me advising my daughter on safety because it was clear I did so coz I had her best interests at heart.

And not because I wanted to blame her for anything or reduce the responsibilty of rapists not to attack her.

But authorities & male individuals are automatically suspect because of the perception of a systemic sexism, rape culture & victim blaming.

It isn't the advice itself that is suspect but motivations for giving it but unfortunately this can lead to it not being given. Unhelpful.
