You seem to agree with the rapist because you see the heels and are probably tempted yourself. See, you can't even give a civil answer without trying to "Goad" me! lindybill@laughing.com

And rape victims "goad people to it" Kind of an apples and oranges analogy, isn't it Zonder?? I mean.. having a combative debate, which may get personal from time to time, is a far cry from sexual predation, and claiming women dressing "sexy" cause it.. You seem to agree with the rapist because you see the heels and are probably tempted yourself. A "beyond the pale" sort of comment, Zonder... Let's all try and share the "sandbox" and play nice, nice... After all, we're just exchanging ideas and thoughts about things we feel strongly about... I just would rather we do without the personal comments. Thread: Sorry I didn't see this earlier.. Hawk

>>rape victims "goad people to it" because they wear high heels and tight skirts<< Bizarre argument. Rape victims are just that, victims. You're more like the guy who picks a fight and then complains because his nose got bloodied. If you don't want to be on the receiving end, don't dish it out. Won't protect you from all harm, but will minimize the animosity sent in your direction. Honestly, though, I would have thought you were too proud to whine.
