Ellen, if you read my postings carefully, I think you'll see that
I have not commented on what rape is (sex or violence) or any such thing.
I am not blaming rape on "raging hormones" or other such baloney.
I don't hold that such commentary is true.

The only comment that I made is that, for whatever reason, "provocative"
clothing *may* trigger the rapist into action.  And IF THIS IS TRUE,
for any reason, than a women who dresses modestly reduces her chances
of rape.

Timeinc probably wouldn't acknowledge my existence, and has opinions of its
own.  I highly doubt that they would make me their spokesperson.
