Still Clueless And Dangerous

No surprise. Even in this day and age, I run across bone heads with similar views on this and other things related to women. Men still don't get that no means no and that rape is not about sex but about violence and power. Why should men only be held accountable for sexual assault if the victim is an infant/child or an elderly nun? Why do 1 in 3 people think that if the victim is a vibrant young woman who is sexy, she is responsible for a man's inability to control himself?

"On a break from jury duty, I spotted this horrifying story in the Guardian about a new Amnesty International report showing that in the U.K., one in three people interviewed believe that a woman who behaves flirtatiously is partially responsible should she be raped. About a third of people also believe the woman is partly or wholly to blame for getting raped if she is drunk. And a quarter of the people interviewed believe she was asking for it if she was wearing sexy clothing. It's hard to pick the most troubling statistic in this report, but I'm going to go with this final one -- that 'nearly 15 percent of respondents thought a woman would be partly responsible for being raped if she was known to have many sexual partners, and 8 percent [thought she would be] totally responsible.'"

(Oh, and there are some woman who think this way too)!
