So out of all I said... that's what you gathered?  

But I'll humor you. Not as much, no.  

You hear some guy wants to rape your daughter.  You also hear some girl wants to rape your son.  Which are you more concerned about?

Ugh, both. In both cases, it's rape. Are you one of those who say that female teachers sleeping with male minors isn't a crime? 

No.  I'm the one who has common sense and realizes that a man of average stature will be far more able to defend himself against a woman than a woman can defend herself against a man.  I also know that statistically a woman is much more likely to be a victim of sexual assault and would react to the threats accordingly.  And that's my point.  It's not that one is bad and the other is not, it's that one is significantly more serious.

If I have a boy and a girl going off to college, they're both getting different talks because they are different genders and that comes with different risks.

Edit:  ANd I'd be very interested to hear what any parents have to say on this...
