I do know better. Its just common sense. Why don't you put your money where your mouth is. Tell your girlfriend to put on her favorite pair of crotchless panties, get wasted and ride the subway by herself late at night. If she gets sexually assaulted you can comfort her with your cliches.

You all keep repeating cliches like you can't understand anything but rigid femenist talking points. No one is saying women who dress provocatively deserve to get raped.
