"You get my point, that type of situation is no place for women, it's just asking for trouble. It's like putting a steak in the middle of a lion cage and daring them not to touch it. Sooner or later it's going to happen."

Gee, I'm sorry if I offended you Naomi, and I don't care how you choose to live your life. But this quote just pissed me off enough to try to make you think about it.
I know rape victims personally, and I've talked to a lot of other ones.
This kind of ignorant attitude, implying that women are to blame somehow for being raped, makes it so much harder for victims to heal.

Sex might be expected if men and women are living together. But rape is not sex. "Oh, I'm just so horny because that woman is in my barracks. If she weren't here, I'd be reading the Bible or knitting booties for poor children. But instead, I just have to go rape her. Can't help it." Come on.

Rape is about violence and control. And this kind of nonsense gives rapists control long after the act is over. I knew one woman, an attractive woman who was dressed in a flirty little skirt when she was raped.
The bs attitude that she brought it on by what she was wearing (you never hear that when elderly women are raped) got to her, and she gained 50 pounds and started wearing baggy clothes so she wouldn't be "attractive" anymore.

If you as a woman are willing to accept the blame for what a rapist might do in any situation or pass that blame off to any other woman, I'm sorry but your self-esteem can't be that good either.

Bill. If you read the articles you're posting you can see how much of a red herring the "enforcement" argument is. I don't see this as partisan.
If Republicans or Obama or whoever wants to say that a woman shouldn't have the option of suing her employer in open court if that employer puts her in a dangerous situation and she gets raped, I say let the voter decide.
