A recent poll found out that many women think rape is a woman's fault if she dressed provocatively; if she's flirtatious; if she's had many partners. What do you think?

What does a woman expect from a man after showing most of her skin to him?? Still called or thought as a sister by the man or what. 

Desires are natural by humans, they can get aroused and its very well understood more of a show off from a woman can spark the desires and the level of spark can be at any level from extreme to low in a man.

Main reason is not dressing properly.

Well, this could be one of the reasons, but then women in Pakistan or Afghanistan who almost cover themselves are also raped. 

It also depends on a man's thoughts, his controlling power where I feel most of them who are least educated does so. Women should go for a self defence course as I have done.

No. There are men who are bad and any attractive and docile woman may stimulate the beast within. While good and civilized men will only enjoy the scene in their imagination, and there is no harm in that.

The boundaries are well-defined, its up to the person to respect them. 

Ramis, Qatar

Yes it is a women fault in some cases. if she is not covering herself if she is having too many partners or she is flirtatious that means she is giving invitation to others by her own character. 

Actually I have a question over here that why women dresses provocatively. why men they are in complete dresses. 

Nada, Dubai

If she dresses provocatively.

Even though many women think that in some cases as mentioned , it is women's fault if they are raped, I don't agree on this poll position.

I do not think for a woman to be raped it was her fault because she dressed provocatively, or is flirtatious. It does not mean that she should be forced into a compulsive sexual act which she thinks is a force. 

Well, having many partners does not mean that she has to be raped. So on this issue I don't agree with many women who think it is women's fault if they are raped when she has dressed provcatively as after all in this modern era to dress in such a way has become a hobby and she may feel nightmarish when confronted by even the idea of rape !! 

I do not think it is a woman's fault if she is raped. It is just a bad and horrific experience!!!.
