I agree with Lizzie and Mauve.

No women should be raped regardless of her conduct thus far in the "relationship".

I know that is what mauve says and I believe that is what Lizzie has been saying which is why I am so puzzled by Lizzie's phrase "I think that if she repeatedly behaved that way, then the consequences of her behaviour were bound to catch up with her" which was used in relation to a woman who deliberately set out to arouse and then repulse a man.

I can only assume that the consequences are rape and if they 'are bound to catch up with her' it implies that it is inevitable that it will happen. That is at complete odds with 'No women should be raped regardless of her conduct' and suggests that it is inevitable that, in some circumstances, a rape will occur. If it is inevitable - how can it be the perpetrators fault?

Mixed messages indeed.
