Fun story about "common sense" is that when it comes to trying to protect children, "common sense" actually puts them in more danger. The best example I can think of is that letting a kid walk home is often safer than insisting they get a ride from a teacher, because guess which situation is more likely to result in them getting molested or assaulted?

I'm not saying common sense is completely useless, but I can see why some people have such a gut reaction against it. I mean, my mom was paranoid as all fuck when I was a child, but looking back, some of the things she did in her desperation to protect me actually put me in even more danger (and that's before going into the indirect costs of her paranoia when I wasn't in danger, i.e. no after school activities, no friends over, no going over to friend's houses, no getting a job, etc etc). I try to take the rational approach in all things in life, but sometimes that means having to stop myself from screaming SHUT UP at people who tie themselves up so strongly in "common sense measures against sexual assault" because of how not sensible they really are.
