Question by Jane:

How do women protect themselves in the real world?

If a girl hasn't really been raised to watch out for certain things, or just unaware of things about other people, how does she educate herself? By learning from other older women? What if older women are her competition? Are there any books, or anything on how women are to survive in this world?

Were you a sheltered child going off to college for the first time? I learned these things from my mother, but I know that there are people who don't teach their kids these things. Generally, they remain sheltered through adulthood!
