Yes, rape is inexcusable, mp, and no-one has denied that in this thread, as folks are saying over and over, but...so some forms of female behaviour are also inexcusable and that is what is being denied, strangely.

Also, I don't believe that ALL men are in control, which is why we need to make young women aware of the dangers of certain situations, as once, society used to.

There will always be some men who think and feel differently to others, 'dangerous men' and those men are despised by decent men and women alike, but to send a young woman out into the big wide world telling her that all men are in control, should be in control, MUST be in control nowadays, because 'it has been deemed so' and therefore she has the absolute right to behave HOWEVER she wants, purely because she's a woman, is bonkers.

Young women need to know there are higly dangerous situations out there, and you should avoid them as much as you are able to, NOT walk right into them, with a breathtaking naievity....or arrogance.

Most men love and care about women in the right way, but there will ALWAYS be some who do not, and to openly, sexually entice those men is done at the woman's own peril.

Maybe we need to start teaching young women a kind of sexual Green Cross Code, because at the moment, so many are just stepping right out into heavy, fast moving traffic, in front of huge cars that are being driven by men who do not have the capacity, or wish, to stop.

Anyway, time to disappear again, because how many times can we all say the same things over and again?
