It helps the women by saving them from being raped, and the men by helping them avoid raping.<\/p>\n<p>The contention comes when extremists like Al Qaeda force their women to dress in \u201cbee-keeper outfits\u201d, \u201cburlap sacs\u201d, , etc.  One does not however need to be an ultra-liberal to think <em>those<\/em> outfits excessive.<\/p>\n<p>Of course \u201cliberal\u201d nations are not exactly faring much better; they have ridiculously high rape, rape-murder, pedophilia, molestation, etc. rates.

Share the responsibility of preventing rape between men and women instead of putting the entire onus on just one side.
