""The victim of a rape is not responsible for the action of the rapist. But she is entirely responsible for every step of her life that brought her, through a chain of decisions and actions, to the place where it occurred.""

Remarkably dangerous territory Amos.

1. The girl in tight skirt and see through top, at a disco, is reponsible if some bastard spikes her drink, and rapes her.
2. The woman who arrives home, disturbing a burglar, is responsible when he decides to rape her before leaving.
3. The woman in a business suit and overcoat, who is grabbed off the street, and raped in the nearest front garden, is responsible.

And on, and on.........

I know damn well that isn't what you meant, Amos, but it sure as hell is what you said.

Time for a re-think?
