In reply to the discussion: Democrat Congresswoman Blames Sexual Assault On Women Who Appear Too Inviting [View all]Stonepounder
(4,033 posts)8. You know, I've been around since the 40's.
I've seen any number of extremely attractive, provocatively dressed and/or scantily clothed women. And yes, I have fantasized about getting some of them into bed. However, I have never had the slightest urge harass, assault, or otherwise try and force myself onto a woman or act on those fantasies.
To blame your criminal behavior toward a woman on the woman is about as lousy an excuse as saying that your robbed a bank because they had 'all that money' and you couldn't help myself and they shouldn't have been displaying it. Men, if you can't take responsibility for your own actions, then you are a wimp, a loser, and no kind of man that I ever want to associate with!

There is no law that says we need to keep hitting ourselves in the head with a hammer.

"Democrat Congresswoman"? The use of "Democrat" in this form is a GOP slur.
