You have my apologies. Upon going back through the pages of responses and sorting through the different discussions on the thread, I can see where you clarified your stance.

That said... I think my understanding of your responses to Duane's dilemma was colored by the way you responded to the issue of whether or not staring at someone's breasts was inherently sexist. You seemed to equate the fact that not being offended by men who enjoy women's breasts (and looking at them) as one step away from being ok with men goosing women. Which led, confusingly, to the idea that women who didn't mind having their chests looked at...were inviting men to r@pe them. But, perhaps I misunderstood your vitriol. Once again, my apologies.

People, despite how far we've progressed toward civility, are still animals. We have instincts and urges that, through years of morals, we've learned to control, somewhat. Some of us do better than others. Some of us don't. Do you agree?
