I have often thought, contrary to the politically correct way of

blathered, wear the skimpiest clothes, and are partially or wholly

are then subjected to unwanted attention from males.

They are to partially to blame in just the same way as
householders are when they leave a window or door open or
unlocked as a tacit invitation to burglars, or car owners if they
leave their vehicle unlocked and it gets stolen or they leave
expensive items in full view, then are puzzled why a thief breaks
the window to steal them.

Tell me what is wrong with my thinking, because I cannot see any
holes in the logic.

MM

If your assertion is correct and acted upon then:
indeed, all women should wear a full, single eye, veiled burkha
when out in public to avoid forcing males to rape them, and on no
account go out at night or on their own, nor drink alcohol.

That's the other extreme, yes.

Some girls do get tarted up to go out on the pull, the problem is
not with that, it is with the males that the problem lies when they
won't accept that they are not to be the mate of the evening.

So is it not an issue when one leaves the windows open and the doors
unlocked when leaving the house or car and a thief enters? Does the
householder or car owner not bear a modicum of responsibility for
encouraging the situation in which a thief might be enticed into
stealing? Will an insurance policy pay out in those circumstances?

MM

whether the imsurance pay out is up to the wording of the policy.
The criminal is still the person taking what does not belong to
them, not the person that has failed to lock their house.

But if the wording is such that the householder/car owner will be
partially responsible and therefore won't get a payout, then that
indicates that the insurance company believes just as I do that there
is no binary black and white situation here. If the object is to
remove the crime of theft, then everyone has a responsibility to work
towards that aim, not merely the criminals by ceasing their
activities. Why else were PCSOs climbing through windows back in the
summer to make a point?

I can even remember a copper back in the 1970s at a London police
station telling me, when I reported a break-in of my car and theft of
all the Christmas presents I was carting home from Germany, that,
well, if I parked my car near Earls Court, what did I expect?

MM

so no one should own anything so as to reduce temptation for thieves?

By all means own whatever you like, but be sensible enough to not
flaunt it as an open invitation to thieves. Would you leave your Rolex
near the sink in a gent's toilet, then expect to find it still there
half an hour later? Reduce the temptation, then it can't be stolen.
Make sure the windows and doors are shut/bolted and you reduce the
temptation. Don't wear the barest minimum of clothing as a young
female in a clubby situation and you reduce the temptation.
