My 20-year-old daughter recently told me how stressful it was for her not to be able to have friendly encounters with men. It often ends up being violently flirted with, for example if she goes to a bar with them in the evening, and then – if she ignores their advances – she has to listen to reproaches. It’s understandable that she’s annoyed. I try to advise them. Which isn’t that easy. “Maybe you need to speak even clearer language”, “maybe you don’t go out with a man alone, but only in groups”, but I don’t feel really comfortable with it.

I could almost get jealous of the Islamists and feminists. At least they have simple solutions to this problem.
