Subject: Swaziland bans miniskirts... to deter rapists

Ah, the third world.

Here are some quotes from a police spokeswoman on this issue.

Ms Hleta said the 1889 law had not been enforced recently, but police wanted to alert women about its existence after receiving complaints from some men in Manzini about women wearing mini-skirts.
Anyone arrested and guilty of "immorality" under the Crimes Act of 1889 could receive a fine of up to $10 (£6) or a jail-term of up to six months if they failed to pay the fine.
Women should be careful about wearing revealing clothes
"The act of the rapist is made easy because it would be easy to remove the half-cloth worn by the women,"
"I have read from the social networks that men and even other women have a tendency of 'undressing people with their eyes'. That becomes easier when the clothes are hugging or are more revealing,"

And... why do you think Muslim women are required to completely cover themselves? Because, apparently they are begging to be raped if they show any slight elbow or neck skin by men who, apparently, have no self control.

Of course if they are raped they are the ones who are then punished for dishonoring their families... harlots.

the third world, indeed.

The world is full of mysteries, and shares too few of the answers required. An example of which, is how did I end up in the Brute Zone?

The Police thought process if someone has been shot:

'They must go to jail! No, not the shooter, the Victim!'

True story.

This comes from the same mindset of the idiots that want to ban guns because some people are irresponsible. They can't tell that it's is the disturbed person that is the problem and they are responsible for their own actions.

It's funny that you commented this after you applied the same rationality in a different manner.

Never said it was. Just pointing out that this kind of logic is not isolated or rare in many areas of the world.

What goes through the mind of a rapist? If its someone who looks at an 8/10 wearing revealing clothes, and goes, "I'll -blam!- that" without her consent, than it could.

If it's for an entirely different reason, then it won't.

Where's the fairness here? They are limiting women's (and men's too, why not..) freedom instead of doing something to the rapists.

Just saw that on BBC as well. Swaziland is just ultra-conservative. Nothing bad about it.

Then that person has no self-control and a sane mind wouldn't -blam!- girl showing a bit of skin.

No it's not. Women still get raped if they are wearing jeans and a non revealing shirt. The r@pe count is not going to go down because of this.

Ditto, buddy. Women can dress how they wish. They have to deal with the consequences, if any.
