""But it isn't, jade. It simply isn't. And as you know, it can happen to people who aren't dressed suggestively. The chances of it happening if you ARE dressed that way therefore increase greatly.""

There you go again Lizzie.

You seem to have missed the post further up, which quoted a survey result showing that only 4.4% of victims were, in fact, provocatively dressed.

Changing your attire reduces your chances of rape by, at most, 4.4 in 100.

What needs to change is the belief that NO can mean YES! And it is men who hold that belief, and it is men who need to make changes.

And yes, I do know how frustrating a tease can be, but that is not germane to the issue of men cultivating the self control to accept the rejection, and dump the girl if they feel so inclined.
