I don't know, but a few choice words come to mind. Francis at Eternity Road does a much more classy evaluation than I would. He is commenting on a web page from the Los Angeles Commission on Assaults Against Women.
He writes:
Since rape is, by definition, sexual penetration against the will of the penetrated, there can be no such thing as "an invitation to rape me." The idea is internally contradictory, regardless of what pose, what clothes, or what facial expression is proposed for candidacy. So your Curmudgeon will begin by replying: Stipulated. But, then, what are they?
They're come-hithers. They incite erotic desire and suggest a willingness to collaborate in slaking it. A woman who advertises in such a fashion, but who has no sincere interest in sex, is a fraud and worse. If she takes pleasure in enraging a man's lust and then frustrating it, she's as cruel as her sex can get.
No, the women in those photos are not inviting rape. They're inviting contempt.
In real men, a man who respects women and treats them with equal dignity with men, that is the precise feeling.
I enjoy fishing. When I go fishing, I go to places where the kind of fish I want to hook hang out, and I bait my hook with the bait that I believe will attract the kind of fish I'm looking to catch.
If I want to catch a beautiful rainbow trout you will bait your hook with what it takes to catch that trout. You'll hang out at clear running streams and patiently wait for that one perfect fish.
If you hang around a stagnant pool, and you bait your hook with stinky, rancid doughballs, you won't be catching rainbow trout. You'll probably be catching bullheads.
Some women bait their hook with stinkbait, and then are suprised that the only fish they catch are bullheads. They wonder why they never date nice guys, when nice guys usually aren't interested in girls who look available for casual sex.
