No, I just accept I'm wasting my time discussing this issue with someone whose attitudes and understanding are so outdated.
Suggesting that women's choice of clothes makes them fair game is a very old-fashioned idea.
I disagree that all cases can be lumped together eg if a man places a friendly arm around a woman's shoulder years later the woman can accuse the man of over-stepping the mark.
I also disagree that women aren't responsible to some degree for how they are treated by others by their behaviour which includes dressing appropriately for the occasion.
You may recall judge Pickle's comments:
His views on women made him a target for feminists, but he was unapologetic: “I’ve never said that a woman who goes about bra-less or dressed in a certain manner deserves to be raped; what I have said is that if a woman dresses in a particular way and behaves in a particular manner she may be misunderstood as to her availability sexually.”http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/law-obituaries/8220386/His-Honour-James-Pickles.htmlIt's common sense surely? Would you leave valuables on display in your car and/or leave it unlocked?
I'm not suggesting women should be hidden away behind burkas to protect themselves from 'uncontrollable' male lust!
Women can look attractive without being overtly sexual.
