And regardless of if a person is wrong for acting on mixed signals, I don't think you find too many people that will feel sorry for the victim. Most people will reply that if you don't like it, don't be a tease.
Wow. Again, 100% based on the idea than 1. men can't control themselves and 2. it's totally OK if they can't. 1952 called and they'd like their attitudes on women back.
The ideas you're expressing fall on the benign end of a continuum of a lot of things done to women, and the "she was asking for it" defense still holds up in a lot of places.
