In response to your first question - it depends on the men, their mentality and so on. Second question - is there really a way for women to rape men? =S Anyhow, it still depends on the women, their mentality et cetera.
now that is exactly what I meant
most women (most not all) don't have that much physical strenght to go on and rape a man
whereas a man COULD rape woman if he wants to (its a common known fact)
What I meant by that statement was it was hypocritical to place restrictions on the clothing of women to ostensibly "prevent" them from being raped whereas no restrictions are ever placed on the men (not necessarily in the clothing aspect). From a pragmatic viewpoint, those who are inclined towards rape will commit the act regardless of the clothing their victim is wearing. People (both genders) should be free to wear whatever they want - whenever they want - and not be blamed for a heinous act such as rape.
But see that is EXACTLY why some socities and religions and cultures PUT restrction on woman to be covered
because they are obviously more likely to be raped and molested if they reveal themselves
now I do agree with you that clothing is not the FULL reason that rape happens
ofcourse there are other factors involved like you said, the mentality of the rapist, the way a woman acts (if she is seducing him and he rapes her, then she was obviously "inviting" him )
clothing is just ONE pience of the whole puzzle, but it is indeed a very big one
think about it, if a woman began to cover more, would't that REDUCE her chances of getting attacked?
Ofcourse the danger will always be there, but just this one single factor (wearng less revealng clothes) could make a huge difference
I live in America, that too suburban Los Angeles, alot of times I see a guy jogging down the road earing no t-shirt or banyan, yet I have NEVER seen a girl wear a bra and jogging down the street
now people could easily quesiton why the inequality THERE?
and the answer is quite obvious, that if a woman were to wear a bra-type top ad jog down the street, it would be much dangerous for her than a man jogging down the street wearing no-shirt or banyan
or even at high school football games, guys come in all shirtless and cheer for their team, while the same is not allowed for the girls (to just come in wearing a bra)
I really don understand what you mean by "if women start imitating men, then what difference will there be left? where will the feminism characteristics of a female go?" If they feel like wearing clothing that could potentially be considered "revealing", it's their choice not an imitation of the male species. If clothing defines "female characteristics", then there is obviously something wrong in that.
no arguments here 😃
its just that in my opinion, I see it all around me, alot of woman think that JUST because a man CAN wear revealing clothes and a woman cannot, that means woman are considered unqual and so woman should ALSO reveal JUST so they can be equal to the male species
again that is the way I see it
"Moral values" and "strong personality" are obscure terms, especially moral values. They vary from person to person. What you might consider a "good moral value" might not be an exemplary value to several other groups of people. That is neither here nor there, however.
by moral values I meant general ethics, for example not stealng, being honest, being sincere, respecting your elders, doing justice
these are some ethics and values that even an atheist who does not believe in religion or God would agree with
now there are circumstances where a person might have to bend their moral values, in that case no one has the right to judge them because we don't know what that peson is going through
but coming back to the topic, I meant that a woman should be dignified and classy, which are some general moral values thought by almost all societies 😊
