I deny that any such malady exists. While you might hold your daughter responsible for her actions in some situations, that does not mitigate the responsibility of the man to cease and desist when told to do so. "No" is a two-letter word. It's easy to understand; much easier than the legal terminology that will be tossed around later. I have a daughter who is 17, the editor of a weekly newspaper, third year AP physics, straight 'A' student, active in sports. An apple of my eye. She takes complete responsibility for her sexuality in the way she dresses, talks to boys, comports her self, and the situations she allows her self to get into. I consider her an adult by most standards of maturity who is responsible for her own situations. She also made an uncoerced vow of chastity until married. For the sake of argument let's assume the boy knew about her 'vow' and saw that as a challenge. I would not consider it on the same level as a violent attack. Either situation would be crushing but do you see that there is a difference or do you consider women simply helpless victims in all circumstances
