I was entirely OK with your reply, my good mate
until you reached the part above.
I can't lock my woman in parda/burqa the way I
lock my car because I don't own the woman. *
Now when you switch to religion as a motive, I
have to let you express it out of deference for
your faith but it poses a problem to me that goes :
Even if the woman walks naked, it is still my decision to act or not to act
and I must be less wishy washy than Hamlet because I'm not going to act.
Let me go two steps further :
I am an autonomous thinker. My behaviour is mine alone to bear,
be it in my relation to God or to remain a coherent moral being.
A very serious perk of the liberty enjoyed with equal rights is precisely
that the woman is allowed to choose and that she chooses me.
The key word is choice.
I surmise that have very different points of view
on that despite our basic agreement because of
our respective cultural backgrounds.
Just to give you an idea, I worked security and as
a bouncer for years and you have no idea, hopefully,
about the lowest levels of behaviour one witnesses
in such situations.
I've picked up girls passed out on drugs and alcohol
in the bathrooms, wearing about a belt and a bra ...
and as my job entailed made sure they were safe?
Then again, I can't grasp the power thing much and
that too must help in not feeling endowed to rape?
I'm the guy who rushes to the problem tackling / fight
even if no one follows. IMHoO power is for egomaniacs.
And I'm not egomaniac, I'm much more proud than that!
So that this seems quite below my dignity, a bit animalistic :
Be a real male, be the pride of the pride not its shame!
To be totally and brutally honest, I'd go much farther than
that poorly constructed sentence by that actress of yours :
It's a misconception that women have anything to do with rape.
It's a male problem, man!
Do the right thing, Tay.
