My momma told me not to talk to boys. Boys are only trouble. Boys will cause you to sin. Boys only want sex and then they will leave you in the dust with a broken heart and babies. That's what happens when you talk to boys.

Protection is the answer. You must protect your heart and you protect your pants and don't worry little darlin', Daddy's got a shotgun to keep those evil boys away. No one's gonna harm my baby. You just stay right here in this golden birdcage and you stay clean, untarnished. An angel. A trophy that some man will be proud to have one day.

Because eventually, you're supposed to marry one of these boys, oh, no, now men--these men that you don't talk to. Somehow, without communication, a 'good' man will find you in your little cage and break the lock. He will be wonderful and you'll get married and you'll live happily ever after with babies. That's what happens when you marry men.

And IF you break this pattern, if you talk to boys before they are men, they will manipulate you and hurt you and throw you away, and so will your parents, so will your friends. They will talk behind your back and call you a whore to your face, they will call you dirty, you will be damaged goods, good for nothing. Better not talk to boys, momma said.

I am not someone's son, but I imagine that a few of them have had a similar talk. You better watch yourself around girls; They will lead you astray. They will flirt and cause you to LUST and they will tempt you with their carnal ways and lead you straight on to hell. Better not talk to girls, boys. Oh, except that you're supposed to marry one of them eventually. Keep that in mind.

Because we all just want our sons and daughters to be protected, right? And when my momma beat me senseless for talking to boys, it was for my protection. So that none of them would ever hurt me. It all makes perfect sense now.

Here's an idea. How about we talk to people like they are humans, rather than demons.
How about you teach your daughter how to communicate her needs and how to spot a manipulator a mile away.
How about you teach your son how to respect, rather than fear.
How about you teach them both to listen.
How about you teach them both to speak loud and clear.
How about you teach your children that "Yes" and "No" are equally important, and equally valid.
How about you teach your children that control and love are not the same thing and it is okay to ask for help.
How about you teach them how to cut right to the heart of white noise.

How about instead of smothering them in the name of protection

You teach your daughters how to talk to boys.

And we're not EVEN going to get into how unbelievably unprepared gay and lesbian kids are for all this when all the warnings have only been about the opposite sex!
