Here at the University of Waterloo it is summer. And hot. So girls/women 
tend to run around wearing halter tops and shorts. This (because they
aren't covering themselves up decently like they should :-)) broadcasts
the fact that they are desirable. Yet most of them have only one thing in
mind - not frying/melting/getting heat prostration. The furthest thing from
their mind is the possibilty of getting raped - that's because 
(in theory anyway) any normal man, while he may desire to tear her clothes off,
realizes that women are more than sex objects/are people too, and will get to
know her first - so that she is the one that tears her clothes off. 

If women have to actually worry about being raped (ie. they are not just
paranoid) every time they go out in public wearing revealling clothes
then there is something really wrong with this society, and the people
(certain men anyway :-)) in it.
