The whole article is mindkilling, and this is one of the reasons I downvoted it.
I personally know at least two girls (now women) whose mothers didn’t mind too much the risk of their daughters being raped by their boyfriends. To be precise, their reasoning wasn’t exactly like “he’s going to rape my daughter, but I really love him”, but more like “I love him, so I am going to ignore all the evidence that he is trying to rape my daughter, including my daughter’s complaints”.
Meta: How likely is it that author’s political orientation made it more difficult to believe in existence of this kind of female behavior?
