This got me thinking about how society warns young women about certain serious consequences (sexual assault, pregnancy). But some of those messages miss the mark (nitpicking about whether girls' clothes are modest enough doesn't actually keep girls safe) or they don't take into account social change (access to contraception, changes in attitudes to unmarried couples living together, etc). And so in the end the message actually received is: "Young woman must never take any risks ever".
