SOPHIE,
You know that a lot of women are asking for it.  I mean look during the
summer, tight shorts, no bras, big brown nipples showing.  SHEEEEEIT.
(at least in california)

Most of the time, the woman is unconsciously asking to be raped.
She takes no precautions, ie. walks alone in the night, and wears
provocative clothing.
