It is terrible, mp.

I had meant to post a link the other day to a commentary on an Australian jury deciding not consider it rape IF the victim was wearing what most refer to as Skinny Jeans. Apparently they just didn't see how a rapist could get them off with her cooperation. I haven't read more in-depth articles about it, but it seems to me if one's life is in danger, one does what they have to to live; even it if means helping in taking one's clothing off, just as the woman in the Congo submitted to protect her husband.
