Subject: RE: BS: Some rape victims should take blame
"You obviously think it's just fine for her to behave however she wants, and to hell with everyone else. I'm saying it's not."

That is exactly what I am saying. The minute a woman says "No" it is "No". <<<<<<


And I am saying that a woman should think far more deeply, stop being so bloody selfish, get a grip on reality and behave in a far more moderate and acceptable fashion which does not give out the wrong messages.





"But by your own admission, if a man was driven to rape by your innocent provocative display you would be partially to blame. No?"

I don't behave provocatively, full stop, Mary. I do not dress provocatively, nor move provocatively, nor am I to be found all over men, batting my eyelashes at them. Got that? Good. Do not be led astray by the lies that certain posters put down about me.

I never had, nor ever would behave provocatively in front of a man,unless that man was a man I loved and who loved me, in which case I may move my Pooh Bear little body in the most provocative way imaginable whilst I loved him to bits.

I was known, in the Embassies of Harley Street for being one of the secretaries who NEVER behaved provocatively towards any interpreter, ever. And I had respect for that from them all.

So please treat me with respect for that.

Thank you.



"I will say one thing that may bring some wrath on my head. Regarding a woman going to bed with a man, in a manner that would by all reasonable interpretation imply consent: she retains the right to change her mind, and say no; a man who doesn't respect that should not be held blameless. But if she has led him up to the point of intense arousal, and he doesn't stop, I can't see that he should be judged and penalized to the same degree as a man who has set out with the intention of rape."

I agree.
