The young lady who has accused Titus Bramble.

And what morals should us young follow, PSB? Please enlighten me with your morality.

Morality in today's society is virtually impossible to create social consensus in such a pluralist society. Maybe if we follow the Muslims Against Crusades guide to Islamic morality, then we can ban such skimpy clothing everywhere!

eHow.com - your guide to morality.

When you are older and more experienced in life, I'm sure all will be revealed. I used to rebel and think that advise my parents gave me was nonsense but eventually realised it was true. I'm lucky because I came from a highly respectable, loving and moral family. I hope that is the same in your case.

Eh, no

To be fair, I said to the misses last night that I thought the girl from Brambles legal team, was dressed inappropriately! Looked more dressed for a night out, than helping defend a man accussed of sexual assault.

Not read through it all but does it really matter what she is wearing? She might be wearing it to prove that titus has control of his urges when woman dress like that and the defendant is a liar?

You're assuming I'm a 'rebel'. I've never been in trouble with the law, never been excluded from school. Predicted A* A C at college for my A2 exams. I've been through quite a bit in my short time on Earth, so don't bother trying to be condescending.

But you've avoided my question, what morality should we follow, PSB?

Eh, no

Why not, it followed your logic...

 

[Triggaaar]

So...let me get this straight...the O/P not only views a woman's outfit as likely to prejudice a jury's view as to whether she deserves to get molested or not

Edna, you are very well aware that a lot of people (male and female) dress smartly for a court appearance, because impressions do count. If a man was accused of punching someone unprovoked, it would be unwise for them to turn up to court wearing a Tap-Out T-shirt. If a lady appears in court claiming that she hadn't consented or encouraged a man's advances, it would be unwise to dress provocatively. Jurors make judgements on people, and when a case is not clear cut those judgements count. You know all this, and yet you're arguing against it.

That PSB got the wrong lady is just a funny side show.

 

[GreersElbow]

Basically, ITT: Dress inappropriately, you deserve to be sexually assaulted because men can't hold their urges.

Some people on this forum have some truly disgusting attitudes towards women .

Well, they wouldn't be so negative if they stop leaving the kitchen so often

I think it's more disgusting that it's pretty much being suggested that men can't hold their urges, as if we're all bound to be sexual predators one day...

There seems to be a few separate issues being discussed as if they're the same. Of course men and women tend to dress more formally when appearing in court, because as Triggaaar says, impressions count. There's nothing sexist there, just common sense.

I didn't want to read the whole thread for obvious reason, but how did PSB know what the accused was wearing when she gave evidence from behind a screen?

[DTES]

Back to straight questions rather... to be honest, I'm still 100% sure what [MENTION=13050]public school boy[/MENTION] 's initial point was. Was it

a) If a woman reveals skin she is more likely to be a liar, or
b) If a woman reveals skin she is more likely to be promiscuous?

If it was (b), what difference does that make in terms of sexual assault charges - seriously?

Isn't that what the OP said ?

 

[DTES]

Not really - he commented on the size of the outfit, not how formal it was. A smart dress, regardless of length, is dressing formally - turning up fully covered in jeans and a t-shirt would be the opposite.

Someone else understands my point. Regarding what Triggaaar wrote with regard to my getting the identity of the young lady wrong, whilst doing the ironing ( which I admit is a woman's job but Mrs PSB was out side cutting logs or had I not let her out of the garden shed ) I misread the situation owing to the fact that whilst the reporter was giving their commentary of the case, a young lady appeared from the court dressed in what I would consider as unsuitable court room attire. I did think it strange that the identity of the Plaintiff should be revealed but put this down to the fact, as has been done before, that she had no problem with her identity being exposed.

 

[public school boy]

I must admit that describing you, Greerselbow, as a Rebel might be a misjudgement. I doubt you have reached that level yet, somewhere below that might be closer to the point!

 

[Titanic]

It's a sad world when the most morally inch-long and flaccid will look to point their sordid erections in the direction of any female flesh that passes to judge and cheapen. I imagine such unsavoury types lurking behind their beyellowed net curtains in overworn vests and near-fully faded Heidi Hi boxers, and both shaking their bludgeoned and abnormal heads toward schoolgirls at bus-stops and muttering lasciviously seconds later, their grimy hands rubbing their worryingly firm and tiny peni, to a choking self-feather-pecked minor bird the windows were never opened for to let breathe, about what he would do to them if he ever had the chance.

This, sadly.

If a man was accused of punching someone unprovoked, it would be unwise for them to turn up to court wearing a Tap-Out T-shirt. If a lady appears in court claiming that she hadn't consented or encouraged a man's advances, it would be unwise to dress provocatively

Defendants actually turn up to court ALL the time in t-shirts, track suits and jeans, go and stand around in Edward Street any day of the week and you'll see it.

My point being: I don't see any threads about them.
