Oh, and if David comes in here a-moaning at me for coming back into this thread, tell him it's OK, as I'm a woman and have no responsibility to actually mean what I say at all and he has to have absolute sympathy and empathy with that, whilst letting me behave in whatever way I want to...

Of course you are, Lizzie, and I would never complain about your right to change your mind. What I would complain about is when you then start to scream shout and run around in circles about how badly done by you are when you brought it all on yourself. And before you feel an analogy coming on, telling you you to fuck off on an internet forum is nothing like rape. OK - So I have responded so I may as well pick up another couple of points -

So, what some are saying in here then, is that a woman should be able to walk down the street, stark flaming naked, wiggling her bum, boobs swaying in the breeze and NO-ONE should judge her for that?

I have not said. I don't think anyone has said that. I, and many others, have said quite categoricaly that she would be a fool. We also said she does not deserve to be raped for being a fool. But not you apparantly...

I think that if she repeatedly behaved that way, then the consequences of her behaviour were bound to catch up with her, sooner or later...and if she was not prepared to accept that it was her behaviour in the first place that led to the chances of that happening, she should never have behaved that way in the first place.

"The conesquences of her behaviour were bound to catch up with her" I have repeated it again because I did not believe it first time. So, you really believe she would have brought it on herself? That she would have deserved what she got? That any man unable to control his urges would be justified forcing her? Tell me that is not true - Please!
