Right, just to rebut a couple of points.
Velvet, I've said nothing that I intended to offend you. Sorry if you took offence for some reason, I hadn't intended any and apart from disagreeing with you, really don't see how what I said was anything to do with you specifically.
I said wearing certain clothes and posting photos e.g showing lots of cleavage will be taken by some men as indicating a woman is 'up for it' which as I pointed out is stupid, but true. Some men will take it as that. Other men will be offensive no matter what.
The slutwalk, as I understand it, is to protest to show that women should be able to wear whatever they want and go unmolested. I wholeheartedly agree. I have daughters and want them to be safe and able to make whatever choices they want. That being said, I would like there to be no crime, dangerous drivers or disease and will still raise them to be aware of those things and take appropriate measures to keep themselves safe.
Wishing the world was a nicer place does not mean one should forget how shit it can be and act accordingly. And blaming me for other people's behaviour just gives the impression that you're paranoid and spoiling for a fight. And for a 'new' poster to the thread, that seems like a strange way to join it. If it is who I think it is (and presumably you'll see I blocked your PMs because of your stunning lack of self awareness and childish need to name-call) then just grow up and put your name back to normal so I can ignore you as usual.
The fact that I make judgements on people's motives, background, education etc based upon the photos they choose to advertise themselves with is my choice. I'm honest about it. I daresay if I'd said I avoid women with too many horse pictures then someone would take offence at that too. As, in fact, they have previously.
The fact that I made implicit judgements based upon someone's choice of photos, and from that I drew the implication that other people will too, well, statistically I'm a fairly small group but I'm the only guy that's posting so draw whatever conclusions you will.
At no point have I said, or implied, that women deserve to be harrassed or attacked based upon their clothing. I find those accusations annoying and groundless. If people wish to view me as the epitome of sexist bollocks that you all deal with on a daily basis then you're really stretching a point. I've expressed a male opinion in the assumption that some people may find it valuable. I don't expect to be harangued for every ill ever done to you by my gender.
That is all
