Brazilians say women in revealing clothes deserve rape

[DrLeftover]

Rio de Janeiro (AFP) - In Brazil, the land of mini bikinis and voluptuous carnival dancers, most people say a woman who shows off her body deserves to be raped, according to a poll that has triggered outrage.

Of the 3,810 respondents of both sexes who responded to the government's Institute of Applied Economic Research (IPEA) survey released this week, about 2,480 -- 65 percent -- justified raping women who wear "clothing that shows off the body."

And 58.5 percent of respondents also agreed that "if women knew how to behave, there would be fewer rapes."

Most of the May-June poll's respondents -- 66.5 percent -- were women.

Strange.
Very strange.

It seems some 60% of the population believes it won't happen to them.

 

[WHO IS SERAFIN]

And I say everyone who thinks that needs a 357 bullet to the head.

 

[Flurry]

Wow, just wow.

Nobody deserves to be raped.
