Feminists

Once again, you're pointing to things as biological that are not based in biology, but in human departures from biology. You've also wandered so far off topic that parts of your post aren't even connecting to the issue being discussed, and your solution for the topic under discussion is "Don't dress like a slut" reworked for the Internet: don't make any mistakes on the Internet, child, or you will be ruined forever!- best to just stay off it completely. You've missed the fact that there IS no real short-term solution, only short-term band-aids; the only solution that will work is the long-term one of putting social attitudes toward sexuality back where they belong.

The Mosuo in China have a sex culture anchored much more closely to human biology. The suicide rate among their teenagers is zero. They don't have these problems. Western culture, with its emphasis on monogamy and disgust for female sexuality, has created and maintained these problems. This "biological" urge to preen and flirt is a response to that CULTURAL (and unnatural) attitude- girls raised to believe they have to pick just one perfect mate for a lifetime, and then must be to that perfect mate all of the hundred or so women he would have otherwise been with in the course of his life, will tie themselves into knots trying to make themselves appear worth that tradeoff. This breeds a fierce competitive environment for resources that aren't actually scarce, and feeds multibillion dollar industries for clothing, cosmetics, surgery and diet while these poor girls try to make themselves into that hundred different women- all the while repressing their own biological urges that tell them to mate with as many as possible, and believing the carefully taught lie that those urges are dirty and unnatural. That isn't biology, as I said- it's the result of a cultural warping of biology and it's done nothing but harm. THAT is the problem and THAT is what has to be fixed. All the "don't dress like a slut, don't drink with strange men, don't post pictures on the Internet" warnings aren't going to help fix that underlying problem one iota, because they're targeting the symptoms, not the disease.

And they don't make anyone safer. You yourself have pointed out that this is going to happen anyway. Why not fix the actual problem instead?

May I respectfully suggest that if this conversation is going to continue, we do it in a different thread? This is starting to break away from the subject of Amanda Todd, which is what the thread was intended for.
