To be honest it is a little old fashioned, Jewels. I can understand your perspective as a protective parent but its perfectly acceptable and really expected that women are going to go out and do the same things us guys are doing. Letting her get out and have the same experiences as her peers might go a long way towards getting started in a very competitive world where (in theory at least) she's going to be considered an absolute equal to her male counterparts. I'm not sure anybody in this day and age should have a special set of rules based on sex alone because society just doesn't work that way anymore.
Best of luck, I know its a lot easier said then done.
