[QUOTE]Originally posted by Troubles101: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by catlover: [b] Absolutely. Rape is zero to do with attractiveness, dress or any outward signs and everything to do with power and subjugation. Having a drunken shag which you later regret and crying rape (which should be a severely punishable offence in my book)is NOT the same as actually being raped. Bitter experience. I know one anecdote doth not a proof make but I was known to my attacker, he was a work colleague of my boyfriend at the time, and he was 'punishing' my boyfriend for something. I was in jeans, jumper, boots. I am 1.77m and weighed about 75kg at the time - not exactly 'weak' looking. He was however ex-military, very tall and very fit and I could not fight him off. [This message has been edited by catlover (edited 14 October 2005).][/b][/QUOTE] I'm sorry for what happwened to you. To the main topic, I was not saying that sexy dress brings a raping thoughts to those rapists , the idea is already there and I agree, a big part of it is about power but my point was that such a kind of sexy dress makes woman an easier choice for rapists than others, beside any kind of behaviour that shows a sign of low resistance (like alcohol) or looks more accepting of it (like sexy dress) To give a clue from a website which discusses rape myths : [QUOTE]MYTH: Some people ask to be sexually assaulted by their behavior or they way they dress. FACT: This is one of the most prevalent and powerful myths. It asks us to find the cause of assault in the victimÕs behavior or choices. No one asks or wants to be raped or assaulted, [b]just as no one asks to have their car stolen, even if they forget and leave the keys in the ignition, be robbed or hit by a drunk driver. Sexual assault is always the responsibility of the perpetrator and never the responsibility of the victim. While some behaviors we choose may put us at some risk, they are only risky when there are offenders who are ready to take advantage of someone who is vulnerable[/b]. How someone dresses, where they go, what they do, or who they are in a relationship with is never justification for sexual assault. [/QUOTE] [URL=http://www.mncasa.org/about_myths.html]http://www.mncasa.org/about_myths.html[/URL] I agree with most of what being said above specially the part I highlighted in bold which agrees with my point that while a woman wearing sexy cloths doesn't want to be raped yet she makes herself vulnerable to it by such a behaviour.
