You must be very young. Maybe you went to a Marxist university. Girls being responsible not to behave in ways that arouse men was standard American Christian teaching until the 80s or so. Many of us grew up with a standard of modesty that was very helpful as we entered the business world in the 70s and 80s and had to interact with strange men, many of whom were hostile and/or horny. As previously noted, there were no sexual harassment laws; society had taught people what decent values were, and that was all you had to go on.

By the same token, men were taught chivalric values of honoring women and being courteous to them, including opening doors for them or helping carry extremely heavy objects. Today is it more likely to see a mother struggling with two toddlers and a heavy grocery cart while her latest boyfriend strides ahead, or waits by the car impatient for her to catch up, or an old or pregnant woman hanging on a strap in the aisle of a bus while able-bodied persons of both sexes lounge in their seats.

I am not very young. I’m practically old. But it is never the responsibility of a young daughter to carry the burden of her father’s lust.

Never, ever, ever is that ok.
