I gave my head a shake and I still agree with Angela Lansbury.
I do not think it is unreasonable to ask women not to dress in ways that entice what may later deem to be unwanted attention. Certainly there are predators out there who don't care how a woman looks and how they are dressed. They certainly want power and control. But that is NOT the only reason. Some men, especially those who are not in Christ and do not know how to discipline their flesh, can be easily aroused by women's flimsy clothing and flirtatious ways. Some women love to play games to see how far they can take it. When it gets too far they call it "sexual harassment" or rape.
My position is if a man rapes a woman he should go to jail. Maybe even be castrated. If a man uses his position on the job to sexually harass a woman he should get fired. What the woman did to bring it about is no excuse for a man not controlling himself. But do not ask me to be completely sympathetic to a woman that wants to play games with the intended purpose of arousing a man. It is like playing Russian roullet and then asking me to advocate gun control because you shot yourself in the head.

I agree with you (and even A. J.) that some sickos would rape a pig as long as there is a dress on it. We all know that there are many factors in sexual harassment and even rape and there is no one size fits all to say that this and only this is why it happens. My only reason for posting Lansbury's perspective was to present "the other side" as we go after those who are rightfully being disciplined for what they have done.
If I was a woman, especially a Christian woman, I would want to do what is right by both the Lord and by men. I would not want to have my part in arousing sinful passions. Heck, as a man I try not to arous women's passions by the way that I act towards them. I would hope that women would want to do the same.

Exactly. A statistic I read once said that rape increased in the sixties when the mini-skirt came out. I don't find any excuse for a man to not control himself, but women who don't want to take responsibility for the way they dress and act is quite frustrating. The Scriptures teach that there is a sowing and reaping process and if woman and men want to do things that sow seeds of sexual lust then society will reap the disastrous consequences of it. Keep dressing in provocative ways, flirting, posing nude in magazines, watching nudity on TV and in movies, and there will continue to be more sexual harassment, rape and murders.
This is why God calls men to control themselves by the fruit of the Spirit and women to be chaste. But most men and women in society do NOT know Jesus, are sold under sin, and follow their base fleshly passions and reap the natural consequences of them.

All the talk here is about women arousing men. As a man I have to make sure that I don't do that to women. I'm 46 and even though I don't have a full head of hair I still look 35 and my body looks like a fit 25 year old. I can dress up and look like a small bodybuilder, which I don't do. Women aged 25-50 often like me and creating or promoting various "incidents" wouldn't be too difficult. So Angela Lansbury does have a point, even when the tables are turned.

Things got worse recently since people started figuring out that I'm very much in love with a 28 year old beauty from church. It's not official yet so I'm not giving you any names. Women have a tendency to take interest in men whom other women show an interest in. That's just the way things are.
