10/4/2011-Dress Code

I'm happy we live in a country where women can dress like sluts and Lady Gaga. I've heard a lot from women who are fed up that they can't walk freely in the park alone for fear of attack by, what, a bear? A coyote? A mountain lion? No, a man. 


A group of conservative Muslims came to visit the editorial board once and one of the women explained why she voluntarily wore a burqa. She said it was to discourage men from hooting and whistling at her as she walked by. It was her armor against sexual harassment.


I wish I could explain why men behave badly. I can't. I can only explain why I don't behave that way. I think women deserve better.
