I'm not trying to get an inch back -- you can keep it. I can afford it. <g> Perhaps I'm reading too much into these arguments by you and others that men should not be at risk of rape charges doing what comes naturally, that women should continue to bear the full burden as they have for eons. I hope that's not the position you really think I'm taking. If so, I need to work harder to be understood. The position I am taking is quite simply one that I think you agree with, only maybe to a different degree -- that both parties have responsibilities, that the man can't deny responsibility by blaming the woman for enticing him, but she can't deny responsibility by being enticing and letting him proceed without clearly saying no. I don't think you disagree with that basic premise, do you?
