Well, what it amounts to is saying that your mother was right, girls who wear mini- skirts and are too flirty are begging for trouble.......

Not at all, M&M. It resembles the Feelies discussion on rape, which occurred even more months back than the Last-Couple-on-Earth discussion that you set up. The issue was the very one that the authors of the cited book apparently tackle: is rape a sexual act, or an act of violence? More properly: can a sexual act be violent? "E" was the most prominent debater on the "yes, rape is a sexual act" side (a position that I too supported); and if I recall correctly, Cobalt Blue was the major opponent of that view. The argument concluded amicably, although I can't say whether anyone's opinions were radically changed. In any event, I see no reason why those guys should catch MAJOR flak. I did not see anything in that article about the book that would lead me to believe they have anything all that provocatively novel to say. Joan
