Back in the 50s the mothers would instruct their daughters to the recognition of men out to use them for sexual pleasure and give nothing in return. Cautionary tales of how a woman could being taken advantage of were abundant. They went into the adult world forewarned of how they needed to take care not to allow themselves to be used. What to look out for and who to value.
But it seems the mothers today have no understanding of what can happen to their daughters involved sexually with a man who offers no financial security, shows no promise to care for their daughters. It’s as if they just believe it will happen if the girl throws herself the man’s way.
The left started all the stuff about women’s lib and how they were being done out of the pleasures of sex and the importance for them to have a career. The inflation produced by the left’s spending policies made it necessary for women to work, the children left home alone or in daycare centers till mom can pick them up.
Today many women foolishly go with men who treat them as if they are throw always unless they give up themselves to them. Hence the need from the left for the abortion industry and one of the results is the whole structure of the family unit has fallen apart, the core of the country.
I agree . xlnt point. On a practical, societal level, When sex became a game with no repercussions( in the minds of those who practice it) and became standard practice...the downfall started.
Did mothers do that in the 50’s? I’m under the impression those type of conversations did not take place. It was just expected. Perhaps there were restrictions to keep a daughters life style in check. But, not sure there were talks about this sort of thing.

I totally agree. However a lot of those mothers don’t have a clue either and many dads are no longer in the picture. It’s assumed that young women need moms more than dads but that is not the case during puberty. I think in Gabby’s case that she had a dad present, but things went wrong anyway.
Reading between the lines it seems as if Gabby had emotional and mental problems which were more than the young boyfriend was capable of handling. I can easily envision that there was a violent argument whereby she fell or was pushed and ended in her death with no intention of killing her. Then because of his youth and poor judgment he hightails it. That’s the picture that I’m getting from all of this.
Why blame only the mothers? What about the father's traditional role as protector of his daughter? Girls don't always believe their mothers, because their mothers want to cling to them forever; but if their father tells them the truth about men, while preparing them for the independence fathers generally foster when kids are ready to launch, girls stand a better chance of believing the message.
For every mother who didn't make a secure relationship with the child's father, there is a father who abandoned the mother and/or the child. Maybe two to one.
