Once again you make a good point AAAAA. I wonder about this often..what impact will this have on their ability to trust men. Will they be inclined to pick men who'll hurt them or will they go the opposite and have a hard time trusting even good men. They know they should never tolerate this decision from a man but they understand this is a cultural thing. This is one of the beliefs I don't condone but if someone else wants to do this, that's their business - as long as all parties consent. Both my girls have a strong personalities, so I don't think they'll take disrespect. I emphasize they need to always be capable of supporting themselves and learn from my mistake. I do hope they'll be able to trust fully though.
