Methinks the lady doth protest too much. But I'm sure she has a reason.I'm not blaming the victim. You are simply refusing to acknowledge there are men who regard a woman's friendly playfulness as receptiveness to sexual overture. When such men are then rejected they either think they've been teased or they believe the woman "likes it rough." This is a very common rape scenario and it's too bad you're not aware of it.Blaming the victim again? She didn't prompt him to violently attack her, you're nuts.
If you have attractive daughters your attitude will leave them vulnerable. You need to understand that most men have one thing in mind when transacting with attractive women. That's not a crime. It's Nature. Some men translate a naïve woman's receptive response to their friendly advances as encouragement. When their advances are later rejected they get angry. And some will not take no for an answer.
This is exactly what happened in the Anna/Green situation.
You are wrong. I let you get away with it once because you said I misunderstood your position but I didn't misunderstand a second time. Women do not intice men to this kind of violence by being fun and friendly. That is just ignorant on your part.
There is short circuiting in a rapist's brain that tells him it's ok because she seemed to him to be welcoming it. His advances are not sexual and she isn't asking for what he is interested in. It's violence, everyone knows that.
These days, women tell. Back then, they faced your kind of archaic mindset so that made them afraid to. They felt that they caused it to happen as it were men who ran everything and put this thought into their heads. The women knew she would have zero support because she allowed herself to laugh, have fun, be flirtateous.
Sorry but you couldn't be more wrong and you were blaming the victim.
I hope you don't have any young attractive daughters to pass your ideas onto because you surely will leave them vulnerable to a situation commonly known as "date rape," which typically comes about as the result of misunderstood signals. Not because the man's brain is "short-circuited."
