Nope. A Sheriff once told me something about - of the people who have a social psychosis, about a third remain annonymous, a third end up as criminals, and the last third end up going into law enforcement.

You might have some short circuits in your brain but how you deal with it can make a world of a difference.

With regard to dress having an effect on rape. It shouldn't. I personally will avoid some kinds of clothing in certain situations. There are things a woman can do to help protect herself and how she dresses is one of the least of these I think. I do believe that a self defense class for every woman should be offered in public schools even. It's nearly essential in this day and age to be able to protect yourself and the ones you love. It's also needed to be taught how to use those skills responsibly.

Back to the original subject. If you don't like how she dresses on a consistant basis and you can't work it out find someone new. Before that talk to her. ASK questions. I've said it before - Asking questions instead of just telling someone what you think they should do is the best way to get them to open up and listen to you. ASK, ASK, ASK. Ask her why she doesn't wear bras, if she knows she's exposing herself so much, and why she's doing it. Maybe she just hates the bras she's got. Take her to VS, buy her some pretty comfy bras then and see if she'll be more willing to compromise with you. TALK - ASK
