Should German Women Dress More Modestly?
75 Answers
Cologne's mayoress says yes.
Her argument is that foreign cultural attitudes may see a short skirt or a low-cut blouse as an invitation to rape.
Do the clever people who understand modern morality see the difficulty morons like me have in trying to reconcile the apparent contradictions?

There is never any excuse for rape. How girls dress is not an invitation.

Whilst I agree a woman should be able to wear whatever they want without any harassment..we still have a duty of care to ourselves...I would never walk down a street at any time or day dressed more appropriately for the beach, wee bra top and hardly there skirts , as I have seen in town here of a Friday/Sat night where copious amounts of alcohol are in the meleé
Svejk "get a gun and learn how to use it." are you serious?
Then we end up with the gun crime that the USA are now seeing, especially as most of these types of incidents are at parties etc where there is free flowing alcohol.
Very bad idea indeed! I never thought I would say this... we have a handgun ban in this country and I hope that never changes without very good cause!

In fairness, Mayoress Henriette Reker, issued an unreserved apology several days ago, saying how she had spoken before having a clear understanding of all the facts, and should not have told women how to dress and behave.
She is (was?) a pro-immigration supporter and was stabbed and nearly killed for her view last Autumn;

As a female woman who lives in the real world, what Chris said.
I absolutely believe and support that a woman’s (AND an man’s) “no” means “no” in all circumstances. As someone who worked alone in the community for many years, I believe in taking sensible precautions in risky situations. I haven’t actually read Ms Merkell’s comments but from what the OP has said, maybe she messed up the message though. If she did say that women in Germany, in all times and places, should cover up to avoid cultural misunderstanding, i’d say that she is an idiot.
