Hi friends,

I have a very sheltered young cousin (19F) that I’m worried will be unable to protect herself from a certain type of man. Her parents have sheltered her to an extreme where, afaik, she doesn’t have guy friends, has never dated, and she’s still being dropped off/picked up everywhere by either her parents or her older brothers. I understand why her family is so protective (my home country isn’t great for the safety of young women), but at this rate, I’m convinced she won’t know how to tell the bad eggs from the good ones. And since she’s planning to complete the final year of her degree abroad (next year), she’s going to meet all the eggs.

I’m particularly worried about the rise of that one ultra-misogynist TikTok guy that was arrested, and the young men he’s influenced that she’s eventually going to come into contact with.

I’m planning on sitting down with her soon, to give her some warning signs to watch out for. Like if they say “low value women” or “alpha male” or shit like that, run. Do not give them friendship, do not give them energy, just leave. My own circle is pretty tight and problem-free, so I don’t come into contact with a lot of this even though I know it exists. I know I’m missing things.

So what warning signs can I tell her to watch out for?
