The essence of the commentary, in my opinion, is the diffeence in ATTITUDE toward sexual harassment and attacks.<br /><br />Mary Rogers concludes: “But the only real protection women can have is when the attitudes of men change.”<br /><br />I would assert that when bystanders and law enforcement stands by or even laughs at such practices, the attitudes of a B.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12004309077511856506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173973315363181140.post-46652143322653284942011-02-17T20:39:08.844-05:002011-02-17T20:39:08.844-05:00Accountability is key to stopping violence against...Accountability is key to stopping violence against women. If predatory men (in any country) believe that they can commit these crimes with impunity, stopping these acts is that much harder. Bystanders and law enforcement MUST hold them accountable.Ahabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675629709031865432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173973315363181140.post-43563545765561846042011-02-17T11:24:19.707-05:002011-02-17T11:24:19.707-05:00Tiny's intent was to say this is a world wide ...Tiny's intent was to say this is a world wide problem. Most of us would like to feel that we are safe in public places as well as in our own homes. But there is a segment in all societies that is going to prey on innocent people. It isn't confined to just one or two countries. Nor is it ever acceptable at any time any where.Tinynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173973315363181140.post-25765813593912669782011-02-17T10:47:07.851-05:002011-02-17T10:47:07.851-05:00Tiny: Of course, there are sexual assaults every d...Tiny: Of course, there are sexual assaults every day, but as the commentary points out, these attacks are not accepted and laughed at by police. Do you really expect to be sexually assaulted when you go to lunch with a friend, got to the grocery or walk down the main street of your town with people and police around?

Everyone has to be on guard and be ready to defend and protect. Tiny thinks readily availabe porn has contributed to this escalation of such atrocities against people, and children of both sexes.Tinynoreply@blogger.com
