ASKING FOR IT

On a similar topic to the last post – I turned on BBC 1 Breakfast News this morning in the middle of a discussion about respecting other countries’ members by not wearing swimwear into bars, restaurants, shops and so forth. Towards the end the woman on the discussion panel commented that walking around in a bikini coupled with the alcohol tourists are likely to be consuming can lead to trouble. If that isn’t a case of “she’s asking for it” I don’t know what is. And a double whammy at that – not only do we have the case that girls in cetain clothes attract certain attention but also the men and alcohol link. And of course this was not challenged by the BBC presenters or pointed out. Nothing like a bit of misogyny over breakfast.
