This! Another form of access-to-information limitation that young persons strangely embrace. IMO, caution (questioning motives), insight, and boundaries are tools most frequently handed down generationally. Women's issues (physical, mental, social, and in the context of adult relationships) infrequently change drastically enough to offset the advantage of passed-down knowledge versus "rediscovering the wheel". (Usual caveat of not all persons are wise. But, even the "often subject to drama" type people may relate life experiences from which insight may be gained, rather than the young and vulnerable having to go through such experiences oneself.)
