    Default Nudity Inspires Violence?

    People want to save us from our plight as naked, fallen, sexually out-of-control women for our own good and protection. The rate of violence against women in Japan is much lower than America which is much lower than conservative Muslim countries. But why??? Burqas show far less than western dress like bikinis do. This guy is onto something:
    (snip)....those who are most adamant about “protecting women’s dignity” are taking it away from them. Certainly, there is a discussion to be had about the effects of various types of female dress and their effect on social situations, and we would be naive to suggest that the woman with the deep cleavage doesn’t cause a stir in a room full of business suits. But we must drop the pretense that by telling women to cover up, we are somehow protecting them. That is a lie. Women are not in danger from men who respect them and value them as humans no matter what they’re wearing. They are in danger from men who think they are so defined by their sexuality that they must hide their physical appearance.
    The fact is, making women cover up does not stop them from being sexualized or victimized. This is the point that is missed by too many people on both sides of the discussion. When women are not permitted to show their ankles, men will become aroused by ankles, and say that she deserved it because she showed her ankles. In the U.S., it was once said that women were asking for it if they showed their oh-so-sexy knees. Or their (gasp!) dangerously bare shoulders. It was once thought that the two piece bikini would be the end of civilization as we know it. Because you know how sexy belly buttons are.(snip)

    The simple reality is the countries where women have to be covered are those where they have the least amount of rights. While I do think some women do take it to the extreme in the USA (I see way too many women dressing sleazy)at least here women have rights.

    I think every country and all societies have a level of inequality especially when it comes to women’s rights but I have to say there are some parts of the world (like the Middle East) where laws are very conservative and don’t allow females to grow and prosper.

    I don’t know if nudity leads to violence but this reminds me of another popular but similar argument that pornography leads to rape.

    Men have always been afraid of a woman's sexuality and feels its their moral duty to control that primal energy by legislation and religion and, finally, by force if necessary.

    those who say nudity leads to rape..and that women should cover up have it backwards. like i've always said, teach your son's to respect women's bodies and boundaries, instead of teaching your daughters to cover themselves for fear of being raped. sexualizing all the body parts of women is idiotic, and then putting the blame on women for having or showing any body parts..pretty much saying that men have no self-control and are incapable of behaving like human beings instead of animals..
    i totally agree with this guy

    Well, you know burkas are perfect for covering bruises.

    Optimist if you look at our history "USA" there is only one nation that has it as a right to have a firearm. Violence is the problem with this nation not sex but the 2 are crossed? Why is there so much with the most free nation?...in the so called world. Good question.
