Perhaps it is this way in your country. Places I've been have typically been lenient on women in the sexual conduct arena. For example, when a man rapes a woman, he can expect a significant jail term. When a woman rapes a man, she gets only a slap on the wrist (and many sorry men wishing she had raped them).

In my opinion, this is a complex case with several aspects which must be considered. So, I will address several of them:

1) A public business has a right to establish standards fo dress for both males and for females. I work in a Federal government institution which has standards of dress for both men and women.

2) I consider the decision of the Court to be of narrow focus. Baased upon the statements made, I consider to be be an appropriate decision. IOW, I agree with it.

3) I personally object to the title of this thread: Should women be allowed to entice men. . . That title comes across to me as sexist and unfair to women.

4) I believe that men has a responsibility that is often not given to them.

5) If I am walking down the street and an adult woman comes toward me who is either topless or naked, the responsibility is mine not to jump on her. The responsisbility is not hers as to what I do. Period. End of discussion.

6) Folks, we live in a world where exposure of human flesh is becomming more accepted. Laws are changing. About a year ago, a city near where I live passed a new law: That law prohibited total public nudity on the part of any adults. But, it allowed adults to be topless. Frankly, it was passed because it was felt that it addressed a situation that had gotten out of hand and came up with a good resolution.

NOTE: I reference the public Naked Pumpkin Run and the Naked Bicycle Race, both of which occured each year in this city. These are International events which have been well reported on the Internet if you want to see more.

7) I will say again: Men are responsible for their actions. Regardless of what the woman does, it is not appropriate to excuse the man for jumping on her.

I am reminded of a time when I was taking graduate work in psychology. A hightly educated Engineer came to our clinic and wound up with me. He had been arrested for the sexual assualt of a 4 year-old female.

His story: He had knocked on the door of a neighbor and the 4 year-old had opened the door naked. As he said to me: What would you expect me to do?

With the exception of physical assualt (rape), the man is responsible for what he does. The woman is not responsible for what the man does. Yes, she may be responsible for waht she does.
