Being a woman and dressing a certain way is only going to be considered "high risk" as long as we (as a society) decide that violent sexual behaviour toward women is OK under certain circumstances. Why can't we just, as with the examples above, decide that it's wrong. Because, you know, it is.

Ask your wives, girlfriends, sisters and female friends ... women that you can all pretty much know not be "those sorts of women", you know, the kind that "ask for it". You will likely be shocked at the number of them that have endured inappropriate sexual advances from men. And when I say that, I don't mean some guy coming on too strong at a bar or the local construction yahoos shouting out some choice comments. I mean scary encounters. It should give you pause.
