Deneb, I don't really know what to say. I will say that I'm concerned about your thoughts on one hand and on the other hand, I agree with you somewhat.
In this day and age, going without a bra is not like going without one in my day. It was the "flower power" years and since almost every woman that I knew went without a bra, it wasn't noticed so much.
Here is where it gets sticky...I've never, ever believed that if a woman is dressed in a short skirt or shorts, she is placing herself out there as a target for some sort of male violence. I simply don't buy that. BUT, I've talked to enough men (offenders) that I do realize that dress can have something to do with how a man looks at us. It is a lose-lose situation in my mind. Damned if we do and damned if we don't stand up for what we believe is right.
I,if I were there, would gently talk to you about it and see if we came to a meeting of minds concerning the situations that we are bound to experience.......I'm tired.....this is sounding weird to me and I hope you know what I am trying to say.
