This has got to be the most offensive item that I have ever read on this
network.  Are you seriously suggesting as a means of preventing rape that
women:
	1)  Stay in the house almost all the time
	2)  Only go out accompanied by male relatives
	3)  Wear black shapeless robes and veils??????????????????????
	??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I suppose it is pointless to even reply to someone with a mindset capable
of thinking that the above is a "solution" to the problem of rape.  Talk
about a male-dominated, repressive, inhibitive society!  And why should
the victims have to "pay the price" (as if they already don't)?????????
Unfeeling, mindless, parochial, truly chauvinistic *ssholes like you are
a large part of the problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go back to Libya - they deserve you.
