"Not grateful but at leat feeling flattered maybe." That is the exact attitude I spend my entire life fighting. Have you any idea what kind of pain that kind of statement causes a rape victim? It is attitudes like this which prevent women (and men) desparately in need of help, from seeking it... for fear of what people will think/say. Please, please think about what you are saying. I am sure you don't really believe that victims of sexual assault should be flattered by the attention of their attacker. Please think about your words, you have no idea of the hurt they can cause, I hope without meaning to. Well now this thread has gone from a discussion on nudity in art and advertising to violent crime, I think it's time I bowed out...
