Who's fault is it that they dress like tramps?

If you answered anything but "their own fault" then you are wrong. No one forces women to grab the attention of asshole guys. They choose to.

You're right. And I realize I just tried to justify someones death pretty poorly, sorry. Moreso what I meant is They should have a punishment here for people who get knocked up and dont support thier kids, not lashings. Sorry about that.

Well, we don't go flogging sixteen year old girls to death because they made a mistake. And I'll be damned, you know, I doubt she's going to do it again. A hard way to learn, but if she and her child survive, I doubt it would happen again.

Yes, America does have some interesting views of women. As do most societies. It's a part of life that I don't think is ever going to fully change.

As for lightening... I'm not explaining. That's Icepick's job, I guess. I'm sure you wont like it.

That's true that WOMEN make their own choices. But I'm not talking about women here though, I'm talking about girls. Their whole up-bringing and the world we live in helps influence those choices. In the end, they DO get to choose. But if at a young age, they think that sexy IS dressing like a tramp and it seems that alot (not all) of the guys they're surrounded by want what is "sexy" in the world today, then a young girl will dress like a ho. I mean, look at music videos and the women they idolize. And yes, there are exceptions.

I agree with Sapphire here. Its kind of like bullemia or whatever else eating disorder - sure its the girl that makes herself throw up after eating but whats the cause of it? Its outside pressure to look like Christina Aguilera so guys will dig her.

When 12, 13 year olds see Britney Spears acting like a whore on stage they will do the same thing. Especially when they see how hot guys think Britney Spears is. And they will get more attention from guys that way.
