I remember when my mother told me "there's a lot of weird people out there" as a way of telling me to be careful.
But that didn't help at all, because it's not weird people who are dangerous.
The most dangerous people are those who take advantage of society's expectations, those who act like it's rude to set boundaries, and those who make sure they have as much of a power advantage as possible.
But that describes a very large percentage of authority figures. In order to teach me the truth about who's dangerous, she would have had to teach me that dangerous people have very similar patterns as people who she demanded that I respect.
