Second. You imply that I should not blame all for a few bad apples. Am I? And if I am, am I wrong?
Or is it you who are trying to unjustifiably credit the whole gender for the behavior of a small minority of intelligent women? A little objectivity please. Perhaps I am wrong. But perhaps I am right and you are wrong. There is no need to argue this though as every man out there will encounter many average females and see for themselves which group the majority belong in.

Every choice we make has ripples in the pond people, perception is what determines if we are able to see the ripples or not…
:News Flash: The world can be dangerous.
So if I come round your house and beat you up because I disagree with you, does that put some of the blame on you for exercising your free will in a provocative manner?

A lot of people here are presuming women dress "Skimpy" to attain sexual attention..
Granted SOME DO, but what about on the beach? In a hot and humid summer? What if she just wants to feel FREE, what if she has a skin condition, and it eases to wear LESS clothes? What if she's dressing like that, just BECAUSE she can? What if its just a fashion statement?
AND WHY DO MEN NOT RECEIVE THE SAME COMMENTS WHEN WALKING ROUND IN TRUNKS OR BRIEFS?
See how many variables there are?? How can people sit there and be so judgmental?

Let me ask you this. If you have some very valuable paintings in your home, would you advertise it to a bar of strangers?
Break and enter to steal is wrong, even if the doors are unlocked , but to advertise valuable possessions , and then leave your door unlocked is not very wise.
Because stealing is wrong, and people should not be doing it even if the doors are unlocked, is that a justifiable reason for everyone to leave their doors unlocked, and expect to not be robbed ?

I always hated going to the beach or a public pool and always wore the shorts and tank type of swimsuit. As a teenager I had an attractive body but I just felt uncomfortable showing so much of my flesh.
I've always been very spiritual with high morals. In fact, I avoid checking out men. If I'm in public and I see an attractive man with a nice body, I purposely look away and remove any impure thoughts from my mind. I don't even want corrupt thoughts going into my spirit. I'm married and I prefer to give full respect to my husband in that regard. It's too bad that married men in general don't have the self disipline and strength that I've grown to have.

I'm just simply stating that women who dress to attract sexual attention , shouldn't complain when they get it, and they need to be more understanding of male hormones, and what kind of sexuality they use to try and stimulate those hormones. Like some posters have replied on smiliegirls thread..rape isn't always about the power, it is about sexual gratification as well, and if women wanted to dress to promote sexual stimulii, then they need to be accountable for that.
Are you kidding me?
As a man I call bs on this, guess what, I can control my urges just fine so can most of the male population.
So can all of my friends, the sight of an attractive women does not send Real men into a rape frenzy.
Only misogynistic D-bags think in that manner.
The rape stuff is just ridicolous. No normal guy rapes a girl because she is sexy. How can you even think that? Sigh.
The situations aren't even close to analogous.
So if I come round your house and beat you up because I disagree with you, does that put some of the blame on you for exercising your free will in a provocative manner?

Where do you draw the line? Hair and makeup are not necessary, but they make women appear more attractive to the average male, and would therefore tend to increase the risk of rape.
Why not tell women to stop bathing, stop wearing makeup, stop shaving their armpits, and shave their heads?
What is the difference? All of those things increase the "urge to rape" for the rapist, so I see little difference to choice of clothes to personal appearance otherwise.

Wow, that kind of discipline and in turn, respect for your mans' political space is all too rare these days. Atleast now we have a tangible proof that it's not worth giving up on finding a wife. Being a family guy these days is "boring" apparentlyh
