35. The attitude used to be -- if it is female -- then she is asking for it
That wasn't so long ago -- perhaps 60 years ago -- in the US.

The simple idea that women can say NO, has the RIGHT to say NO -- seems to be rather recent.

Along with the concept that women are really humans and part of the human race comes the concept that we have sovereignty over our own bodies.

Iraq is a very dangerous place for females of any age. War zones are dangerous places for females -- which is perhaps way more women need to be in war zones. Not that all women are humane and care about their fellow human females.

Forget it -- war is just wrong -- and humans lose their humanity and if they had a weak hold on humanity in the first place then "war" is used as an excuse for all kinds of abhorrent behavior.

bush is an evil son of a bitch -- this "war" comes from his mind and he is a mad man.

Rape is NEVER o.k. -- no matter the age of the individual -- in recognition that males can also be raped -- at any age.
