Should we women
be back to the burka, then?

I don't know how much you've read, but in the XVI century a woman would be a slut for showing her ankles (not her chest, though) and was calling for rape if she did it.

Things change, people can be educated, and no one should act with fear and hide what they are to avoid problems.

"It's perfectly right to say that even if you dress in a provactive way you do not deserve to be raped. I think we can all agree with that."
I don't think I can make myself any clearer than that, can I?

However, the object of the entire operation appears to be to change the minds of rapists, who by definition, don't really give a flying fuck about what anyone thinks.

The protest is all very noble, but I can't see it achieving anything.

And I repeat
things were worse 500 years ago when women had to be covered completelly, and showing an ankle would be a call for rape. We have improved, why can't we improve some more?

Women didn't show their ankles well into the 1900s.
So basically not much changed for 400 years.

Again, I shall repeat, how are you going to change the attitude of rapists?

More in my favour
Things have changed a lot in the last 100 years, then.

I see.
So by Christmas it'll be acceptable for everyone to wander about in the buff.

Well, that's progress.

Sorry to break the news
In some places, it's been acceptable for a while now. Maybe you should read the newspapers.

haha that's true,
it's not like the rapists are going to see the women's noble protest and decide to change their ways.

Exactly my point.

The protest is not for the rapists
is for educated people who still thinks it's the woman's fault for wearing slutty dresses.

oh yeah that's true
I still don't think them getting their ya yas out is going to do much though. Most people will probably tune in to see some ass.
