The way a woman walks, the way she dresses, both have an affect on her risk of sexual attack. This is not meant to blame the victim but these are proven facts.

There's two sides of the coin 1. You don't put yourself in a position where you could be compromised. 2. You don't use someone else's compromised position as an excuse to do anything dishonourable. :smile:

absolutely JLM, makes so much sense.

too bad many of the particular women we are mentioning can't see how degrading they make themselves
look,or act, and too bad that the men who will take advantage of them or any other women can't see
themselves as the 'slime' they are.

From statements like that judge made, from statements like this cop made. Rapists will find excuses in the tiniest bit of eye contact. They will find excuses in a kind word. There is a reason that it is a constant issue in the human experience, and it's not because of current fashion trends.

So are you blaming the cop and the judge for giving the rapist an excuse? Aren't you doing the same thing you are condemning the cop and judge for?

The only ones doing the degrading are the tight asses like yourself.

It's no secret that men are visually intrigued by a scantily clad woman, especially if she's built like a brick ------house. Why do you think there are so many strip joints in the country? We are visually motivated when it comes to the fairer sex.

Combine that intrigue with a twisted, demented mind and you got yourself the makings of a rapist.

While I appreciate the long legs that go up to 'there' and the cleavage that is about to pop free, do yourselves a favor ladies and use a little modesty when you dress. Sometimes leaving things to the imagination is far sexier than the in-your-face fashion we see some wear. I don't think that makes me a prude. If anything, it shows a longing to get back to a more humble, modest approach to fashion. Honestly, do you know how difficult it is to carry on a conversation with a lady when her double D's are about to make an appearance? I find my self stroking my chin and saying stuff like "interesting". She thinks I'm referring to her opinions when in fact I'm referring to her chest.

Thanks for the mammaries but please dress appropriately.

Perhaps covering all of your body, including the face, would work. I think there's a name for those garments...

No, your last sentence is negated by the previous blame you place.

I blamed nobody. I simply stated that the temptation is greater. I would never justify an inappropriate action by a rapist, neither would I blame a woman if she wore revealing clothes.

Unfortunately there are a lot of people of both genders, who just have to push everything right to the limit in a misguided notion that they are either asserting their authority or testing how far their "rights" extend. Most people who act normally and don't do this stuff very seldom have their rights challenged- at least I seldom have.

This reminds of an old saying(?).

"When they came for the Jews I did nothing because I wasn't a Jew. When they came for the homosexuals I did nothing because I wasn't homosexual. ......." I think you know the rest.

yeah, I know what you mean, and I'm not a man, I remember my old mother in law, (a robust heavy
italian lady), whose breasts bulged out and showed lots, and she was a very straight laced type of
person, but where could she put them, italians don't wear burkas, but when standing and chatting
with someone whose bulging like that, it is difficult 'not' to look there, and I'm not the least
bit interested sexually in her boobs, they just attract attention, I couldn't imagine having breasts
that big, (and definitely didn't want them that big).
They came with the 100lbs of overweightness. (such a word ?).

She wasn't trying to advertise anything.

I'm sorry if you think thats the angle I was implying.

So you're ok with women walking around half naked and letting their junk hang out in public? At the very least think of the kids man. We're exposing our kids to a barrage of sexual visual stimulants at a very young age. And so the wheel keeps on turning. Oh, how I wish Hollywood would die a quick death! No wonder we're near the top in Petros' link to that poll.

You bet Ger, I've heard that one dozens of times over the past 30 years, BUT that wasn't what my post was about - it was more about social issues - vulgar music emminating from the boom box at 4000 decibels, the waist of the jeans riding just below the ass, changing lanes 5' in front of you, no signal, tires squealing, using profane language in a loud voice in a public place...........Just to name a few. :smile:

When you have that much anatomy it is tough to find a place to put it all. :lol:

That's not what we're talking about in this thread JLM. We are only talking about blaming a woman for the way she dresses for sexual asualts against her person. You stating that you haven't had any problems like that, or those you know, because you and they dress more "conservatively" falls right into that little ditty. What happens when it's decided that your idea of "conservative" dress becomes "risque"? In some society's a women wearing less than neck to wrist to ankle covering is considered vulgar. Women dressed in pants and a tshirt are considered flaunting. In some society's women who get raped bear some of the legal blame for getting raped.

I'm sorry if you think thats the angle I was implying.

So, you are saying that if a child was to see a naked woman, or man for that matter, that they would look at that person in a sexual manner. Is that correct?

Nothing wrong with looking beautiful. If someone feels that is an invitation to unwanted flirtation or more, it's their problem. On the other hand, should someone dress in a way that "showcases" aspects of their body in public, there is nothing wrong with staring at them. If that makes them feel uncomfortable, the problem is theirs.

beg all you want, it won't change the fact that you're wrong.

It also doesn't change the fact that I care little about your opinion on the matter. that is why the question was asked of Karrie and not you. I'll be sure to ask your opinion if it ever concerns me.
