We must share a brain, I was having this very conversation with Darren this evening.

What makes me really cross though, is women who perpetuate this cycle, well she shouldn't have worn a short skirt, or had a few drinks, or walked home alone.
She was taking un-necessary risks, they essentially blame the woman for what happened to her.

Because the message that they are sending out is that basically men cannot control there urges, that they are unable to stop themselves if they see a women dressed attractively or showing lots of skin, or are in a situation where taking advantage would be easy. So women are basically telling men, hey its ok we know your not capable of controling yourselves, you shouldn't have to try!

Mothers are teaching this to there sons by the way they behave and act.

The reason that they do it is that it makes them feel better, because otherwise, well they are just as much at risk as the next person, and that is just too scary to contemplate, so if she hadn't worn the short skirt she would have been fine, so if I don't wear short skirts then it won't happen to me.

Makes me soo so mad.
