I'm sorry you find it hard to believe the world of women and beauty doesn't revolve around your gender 
I don't typically dress myself for men - novel idea, I know. And once again, this assumption that "women dress for men" is what promotes rape-culture: it's the typical, "ah, but did you see her dress? She was asking for it!" mentality, which needs to stop.Colonel wrote:blitzkrieg wrote: That's that bullshit mentality that promotes rape. A woman's sexuality =/= her clothing.

Seriously, this brings to mind this one idiot rent a cop here who made a press conference after a young woman was raped. He said something like, 'oh her skirt was too short, therefore she was asking to be raped.' face plamblitzkrieg wrote:I don't typically dress myself for men - novel idea, I know.
