3. As a man, yes that offends me...

But as the father of a 17 year old young lady, it causes more than mild offense, the precise feeling is OUTRAGE.

4. problem is SOME ARE incapable of control that's why it happens in the 1st place and as a

father with an 11 y.o. daughter. i would rather warn her about her habits and ways of dressing around guys instead of consoling her about a rape. yea it shouldnt be neccessary and guys should take no for no but they dont. we live with animals in this society some murder, some rape, some commit fraud so bad they almost destroy a nation. so while in principle women should be able to behave and dress anyway they want to, to some men it's an invitation. it is offensive but it's better than rape.

8. Some choose not to excercise self control. N/t

5. well put

when a woman is being called a bitch, slut or a whore because she dressed a certain way, or was out at a particular place, or she acted a certain way, those words are the mechanism to strip the humanity away in order to justify treating that woman like an object to be used and discarded... after all, if she isn't a human but a thing, then she doesn't have to be treated like a human.

being a pot bellied old man and stuff.
