The two examples which immediately spring to mind are false rape accusations, or having an awful daughter in law who takes your son away.

I have a DS myself and in all honesty I have never spent a moment fretting about either of those things. I

Just to add, I don't want to be dismissive of people who have experienced this as I'm sure it must be horrible.

My thoughts are , this type of concern is rooted in misogyny, and seeing women as "other" or "the enemy" I'd be interested to see what other people think?

Oh I understand the reasons why teenagers wouldn't want to tell their parents (and when we are talking of teenagers we are talking teenage girls) and all of them are either related to abuse or misogyny. I don't believe for a minute a teenager would choose a path that would lead to more abuse or more misogyny.
