not to rape, that it'll continue? And that teaching them explicitly can possibly limit the amount of date rapes?

I get what he is saying, that teaching them overall core values should limit the chances of them ever becoming a rapist...whether serial, or a one time date rapist. Although I'm not at all against being direct and telling them blatantly what rape is, and how not to get caught up in any way on that side.

My dad never uttered the exact words, "don't rape women" or anything close...but always told me to be extremely careful in sexual situations. Always said to make sure to never sleep with a girl who was off of liquor/drugs, to never assume she wants to do anything, even if "no" is never said, and plenty more things. He even said to stay far away from any advances with women at work.
