If a brother sees some leg or cleavage, then this will stumble him and he will commit a sex crime and it is not his fault because he was stumbled. It was the sister's fault. Did I get this right?????
Does this same logic apply to children i.e., the child was cute, so it was their fault?
It is a very wierd world they live in, and a very distorted reasoning they practice.
I am not talking about lust. I am not talking about consensual sex. I am talking about sex crimes.
This subject has been broached by many people on many threads, with many posts, so I would like to see this subject dealt with in a serious manner, if you don't mind.
I am asking, why is it the woman's fault when a man commits a sex crime.
It is like saying it is the bank's fault when someone robs the bank, because the bank stumbled them, because the bank had money there.
It's due to thousands of years of social conditioning. Men have treated women as second-class objects, and blaming women for the mistakes of men has been a social problem since the time of Adam.
In Arabic countries they insist the women are covered from top to toe so that the men are not "stumbled" into lustful thoughts/actions by the beauty of women. Of course, the men don't think of restraining themselves, or realising they have the power to use self-control. It's far easier to blame women for anything that goes wrong.
Thus, when it comes to sex crimes, it is social influence that says that the woman must have somehow encouraged the rapist. Even if the woman was wearing a burka.
larc forgot to mention that stumbling shouldn't necessarily mean sex crime in her scenario. Even if it was concensual, the sister still gets asked questions like "Panties or thongs?"....which puts a lot more burden of responsibility on her part.
If you have a "weaker" woman who is "in subjection to man" make an accusation against a man "who is in the lead" and "a fine upstanding brother", the woman is INHERANTLY suspected of lying and deception.
