40. Young people are so vulnerable

when they're trying to figure it all out. A one size fits all solution looks pretty good at that point. They don't have a way to conceptualize the downside due to lack of experience. If their families were irrationally strict, which is my take on any Muslim family that insists on retro behavior for women, they're already dealing with lack of grounded religious irrationality, so they don't have solid ground to begin with!
