If a woman wears heels & bright lipstick, is that a reason for rape?
Find answers to your legal question.





If a woman wears heels & bright lipstick, is that a reason for rape?

Women in a northern Malaysian city ruled by conservative Islamists are being urged to forsake bright lipstick and noisy high heels in an effort to preserve their dignity and avoid rape.

Surely the issue is the men & their lack of moral values?

I just found the cities government ridiculous from what the news story said (liberal paper if you are not UK based).
There is no excuse for men to force themselves on women – whatever the situation.
As a man I was insulted that they thought it could be a reason for rape.

That's stupid a woman should be able to be naked (not that id recommend it) but she should be able to be naked outside without worrying about being raped..... The man is the one who does it, he has self control.... The woman can never be blamed for it that's a ridiculous idea to excuse men who cant control their repulsive behavior

there is no such thing as a REASON for rape.
there is NO excuse to rape a woman
or even a man,at that.

That is absolutely not a reason for a rape. There is no excuse for it.


sunoco46
NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!
people who rape r just sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!


vicki
Mabey they should rule that men should learn moral values or absolutely have to keep their eyes down when passing/approaching a women. Men can wear whatever, why can't we? Women just dont go off trying to rape a man for showing his bear chest or wearing tight fitting clothes...

of course it is not a reason.

sometimes rapists will try to say that the victim was 'asking for it', but of course this is ridiculous.


rico_355
no that is just stupid

That article doesn't shed a very positive light on Islam does it?
Exerpt form the article:

The party's brand of Islam - mocked by Malaysian liberals as "Taliban Lite" - has already decreed that supermarkets must a have separate lines for men and women at checkouts, and beaches should be segregated.

Couples caught sitting too close together on park benches are hunted down by the city's moral enforcers and fined up to £285 in the city's Sharia courts

I thought folks said there were just a handfull of extremists- guess it's a pretty big handfull.

No Heels and Bright Lipstick should get you attention at the bar. But rape no. They should make sure there women are not out at 4am in jogging shorts, t-shirt and headphones on. Now that could get you raped.

no

It's a totally different culture, of which I cannot relate. There is, of course, no way clothing & make-up selections can cause a woman to be raped.

Anything to keep the little woman in her place.

There is no excuse for violence against women.


blank.
Your absolutely right just because some women like to dress themselves up does not mean that they deserve to be put through such a horrific ordeal.
Women get raped regardless of how bright their lipstick is or how high their heels are


Just me...
Why should anyone ever say that someones way of expressinf their personality is an excuse for rape. That makes me furious. People express themselves through wardrob and I feel that those who are a little more revealing are asking for a little attention, but by no means are asking to be raped.

Men can't keep their pr*cks in their pants. If a woman wears a tent and has nice legs, she'll be raped. Doesn't matter what she wears or how she acts, men are f*cking pigs.

Do you really even need to ask this? No, if men say it's an excuse they are just retarded.

It's disgusting the way some men behave. That is the reason for the Muslim religion as to why women have to cover up. They are supposed to cover and not make eye contact so they won't "tease" the men. Basically it is the woman's fault if a man has an affair because she must have behaved badly or shown a glimpse of her skin.


chriss832002
No. A woman can walk outside completely naked and thats still not a reason for rape. But when your dealing with other cultures you have to keep in mind they dont view things the way we do here in America.


Bella
Wow, that's weird.
