Rape: 1 in 3 blames flirty women
Monday, November 21, 2005 Posted: 1437 GMT (2237 HKT)
LONDON, England (Reuters) -- One in three Britons believes a woman who flirts is partly or totally responsible if she is raped, a "shocking" opinion poll showed on Monday.
Between a third and a quarter of respondents also put part or all of the blame on the woman if she fails to say "no" clearly to the man, wears sexy clothes, drinks too much, has many sexual partners and walks alone in a deserted area.

This is as fucked as it gets. It would be too easy to think that it's a sentiment only shared by the brits but i'm too cynical to believe that factoid. Surely we as a species are better than this sort of base level bullshit. Probably not.
Fugazi: Suggestion
Why can't i walk down a street free of suggestion?
Is my body the only trait in the eye's of men?
I've got some skin
You want to look in
There lays no reward in what you discover
You spent yourself watching me suffer
Suffer you words, suffer your eyes, suffer your hands
Suffer your interpretation of what it is to be a man
I've got some skin
You want to look in
She does nothing to deserve it
He only wants to observe it
We sit back like they taught us
We keep quiet like they taught us
He just wants to prove it
She does nothing to remove it
We don't want anyone to mind us
So we play the roles that they assigned us
She does nothing to conceal it
He touches her 'cause he wants to feel it
We blame her for being there
But we are all guilty

Shocking yes, but would be interested in how and question was framed. IF they asked something like "what factors do you believe contribute to a woman being raped" with a check box list below, it's not surprising 2/3 of respondents actually selected one or more.
I think the data provided by the Home Office is even more shocking.
