Re: Lawyer says Ben case has been reported one sided
Constantly haping on the DTF line on the name tag sticker she was wearing is useless except to show that the person who brings it up believes that the way a woman dresses is consent.
It has been legally established that 'manner of dress' does not grant consent.

No offense, but there is a big difference between wearing a short skirt and push-up bra and wearing a sticker that broadcasts you're down to ****.
Now, don't get it twisted. I'm not saying that the sticker would mean a damn thing as to her being culpable for rape or the like. I'm just saying it's apples and oranges. One is a fashion choice. The other is broadcasting a [i]specific[/i] message.
Re: Lawyer says Ben case has been reported one sided
It's not a specific message.
In fact, it was written in a type of code by becomiong an acronym that had to be explained.
She didn't even fill out the name tag.
It was a joke between friends who had similar tags with different innuendos.
In that manner, it is a very valid comparison to 'manner of dress'.

By being something that can be explained and put into code it is a specific message. It is three words in a specific language.
The manner in which people dress is not easily equitable to that. The lengths of skirts or color of a shirt = DOWN TO #### ?
I never said it was a universally known acronym. That's irrelevant.
