The topic of Tapu Misa's column interests me.
My comment however isn't about the topic but her approach. Read through the first four paragraphs and tell me, do fathers have any relevance as parents in her worldview? You can begin to understand the alienation some are feeling.
Women today demand men be all things to everybody, but um... some subjects still shut them out?
And she won't even be aware of what she has done.

Maybe Misa said that on purpose...conservative men are not happy discussing their daughters sexuality. Hence no comments on the post, maybe ;-)
It would be nice if there was a happy medium - acknowledgement of women/girls as sexual beings without that creepy 'purity ball, pledging myself to dad until marriage' conservative stuff like we see in the USA.
you've got a point Ruth - which girl, conservative or not, would feel comfortable discussing cervical cancer as pertaining to herself (and not just in general) with her father? Some mechanisms just seem to be in place. Or would a teenage boy discuss a shot that could probably safe him from gentital warts (just an example) with his mother?
