There\\\'s this straw-feminist idea (taken seriously by some) that a woman who works as a stripper or who appears in a centrefold amounts to \\\"yay for feminine empowerment!\\\" But a man who tucks a note in the woman\\\'s thong or stares at the centrefold is a creepy pervert.
It\\\'s the double standard at work.
And Mercury\\\'s points are entirely valid. Dressing for attention and then receiving it is *NOT* the same as a sign saying \\\"Please sexually assault me\\\", and nowhere did Mercury say that. And the two *are* different. Thinking otherwise is just point-blank wrong. And if you\\\'re going to dress for attention, you don\\\'t really have the right to complain about getting said attention without sounding like a giant hypocrite.
Mercury said it best a few posts up -- at some point, feminism has morphed into no woman is ever responsible for her actions. And that\\\'s just not right. Treating the genders equally isn\\\'t a get-out-of-jail-free card for cause-and-effect, or personal responsibility.
