I dissagree, I think the two are linked, most rapes seem to be comitted by men who have a warped view of gender relations, this is my big beef with Femenism - because the way Femenism has developed does exactly that, it warps gender relations and creates a situation where the demands women place on men's behaviour can often be confusing and contradictory.

The fact is, women cannot control how men actually perciewv how they dress, only men can do that. You boys learn how to treat women from watching older male role models, if those role models objectify women then the result is obvious. It is the repsponsibility of men to say rape is aunaceptable, and to beat that idea into any man who doesn't get it.

Where women can influence the debate is in the image they present to men, and plunging necklines and rising hemlines just encourage men to view women as bodily objects rather than thinking, feeling, beings.
