No -- look, don't touch.
Oh, so THAT'S why I get in trouble... :)
Yes, and too much of many of the cheerleader routines these days have sexual undertones. But then I can remember a time when having more than two boy/girl friends in six months was enough to make you look like the town slut/sleazebag. Call me old fashioned.. but I think we ultimately reap what we sow.
The two topics are unrelated. It is not the fault of the victim ... ever. No matter how she dresses. No matter what she's done with her life to that point. Implying that a woman is someohow 'asking for it' by the way she dresses shifts the responsibility of the violent act from the perpetrator. Are we, then, animals, too weak to deal with any lustful urges we may experience?
Whether it is appropriate or not is one question. If the appropriateness is specifically tied into its influence on rape, then I say it is completely acceptable and in no way makes the wearer complicit.
I agree with what Cathexis says on the matter, but there is such a thing in my mind as improper advertising. You *don't* wave a gun around in front of a police precinct house. You don't walk into a Klan meeting and yell, "How do! My name is Mohammed Rabinowitz. Where da White girls?" There's an underlying cultural issue that needs to be addressed here.
They're cute.Leave them be. Tease me to death, girl - besides..what's written there is usually some inane crap.
I'm an ass man, so I like them. I can understand how people can view them as inappropriate, but dammit, I'm a bachelor, I'm in college, and I like round juicy asses. And if girls want to have writing on their asses to encourage me to look at said asses, I will do just that.
