So...just as the T-shirt wearer is not doing anything illegal.

Did anyone say he was?

Saying he was 'asking for it' isn't the same as saying 'throw him in jail'.

So...a well-built woman walking downtown Denver on 16th Street...near the bar and club area where men are drinking and inhibitions are low...wearing a micro-mini, fuck-me heels, stockings and well-done make-up, is asking for it? Because...you know...she's dressed provocatively?

quote:

"if the girl had been one of those vain trollops, of which we have too many in the parish, I would have condemned my brother for his lenity towards her. I saw two farmers' daughters at church the other day with bare necks. I protest they shocked me. if wenches will hang out lures for fellows, it is no matter what they suffer. I detest such creatures, and it would be much better for them had their faces been seamed with the smallpox; but I must confess, I never saw any of this wanton behavior in jenny; some artful villain, I am convinced, hath betrayed, nay perhaps forced her, and I pity the poor wretch with all my heart."

mrs Deborah approved all these sentiments; and the dialogue concluded with a general and bitter invective against beauty, and with many compassionate considerations for all honest, plain girls who are deluded by the wicked arts of deceitful men.
