Women in Swaziland risk arrest by wearing "revealing clothes" that violate moral standards, police spokesperson says.

ohh charming.

Yes, it's their fault for provoking the poor men who can't control themselves isn't it.

[Black Red Devil]

Well, fair enough. Why wear a miniskirt when they can legally go bare breasted.

Because it's obviously the woman's fault for being raped, so they need to be arrested to stop trying to make men rape them...

Perhaps men should have their garden hoses detached?

[Space Commander Travis]

Sadly, and I know this might sound horribly racist, these kind of attitudes are very strongly condoned in these societies; there was a story just the other day about the President of South Africa, no less, boasting about how many women he'd made pregnant.

This makes me angry...It is not the way you dress that provokes men to go and commit such horrible acts,its them and simply them. There are other parts in the world where women are completely covered from head-to-toe and such acts are still being commited in these other parts of the world.

Agreed. And a decent male accidentally happening across a completely naked woman would not rape her.
