I've not ever been raped - although I've done some fast talking in my time - so I don't really belong in this thread. For the record I wholeheartedly agree that rape is never justifiable. For the record also I think it is possible that many of the youngsters that dress so 'provocatively' are youngsters - many of them virginal - who are trying out various personae.

But it does strike me funny that Lizzie Cornish harps on how it it used to be in the days when women had self-respect and thus were never disrespected, in a day when both sexes knew how to behave, a day when men were men and women were women- and yet she never seems to notice that in those days decent women never used the language she uses. What's up with that?
