I think I just had something of an epiphany.

2. That is an excellent example

Thank you for explaining this situation in a way most men can understand.
Another question for them would be
"How would you feel if some man came up behind your wife/mother/sister/daughter and grabbed her breasts and ass?"

So many men don't understand the fear of having a stronger, aggressive stranger coming up to you and letting you know that he can have you anytime he wanted. That is the message that these perverts are wanting to get across.
For us women to know that we can't do anything if and when these men decide to take us and show us who is boss, who is superior. They want us to shut the hell up and to lay down while they see the fear in our eyes. They want to punish us for every perceived wrong that was done to then by a women.

And to top it off we have law makers that think we should be prepared for these attacks. We should be on the pill or be wearing our diaphragm everywhere we go. They don't realize that making us responsible for the outcomes of our own rape is the same as believing these rapists have every right to rape us.
