To the Dads

I can still not get over that disgusting story about the Stanford rape.

I could not fall asleep last night thinking about this. Thinking about how to bring up boys in a way that these things don’t happen.

When I just became a mother I read about a rape case in Sweden. I remember thinking “Regardless how much I love my son, I really do not think I could have forgiven him for doing such a thing.”

Mothers are important teaching their children values but when it comes to respect for women, I believe that fathers play an even larger role. There are so many grey zones before to look out for. I say like my friend Mary: 
It’s so much more logical to teach boys not to rape, instead of girls how to avoid being raped.
So dads, please read this text. It sums it up pretty well.
