I think Ms. Lansbury has a legitimate point. There is a line that some women cross in their dress. Modern feminists want to believe that biology doesn’t exist, that men are not designed by nature to conquer and mate with women. No, it doesn’t give men the right to rape any woman they see, but would you put candy in front of a baby and then be outraged when the baby takes the candy?

My lovely and brilliant wife has a saying, "Just because you can, does not mean that you should."

Do women have the right to dress any way that they want, then visit the apartments of Big Powerful Hollywood Producers after hours, alone? Without fear of being attacked/assaulted/harassed/whatever? In a word, yes. Men who take advantage of the situation are reprehensible and should be prosecuted.

However, should women behave in such a way? I'm not a female and thus have little insight, but if it were my daughter, I'd tell her "Absolutely Not." If you don't intentionally put yourself in a bad position to begin with, then you've drastically reduced your chances of having something untoward happen.

To get up on my soapbox.... Vice Pres Pence takes a lot of heat for his decisions to not meet in private with women, not drink and/or party after hours unless he's with his wife, and so on. He's a "Obvious Sexist" who is "Denying Women Access to His Time", or somesuch foolishness. However, it makes good sense to me, and if/when I'm ever in a position of power, I'll borrow a page or two out of his manual.

Or, as they say, if you leave the uncovered meat, can you blame the cat for sniffing around?

I take her point to be that women dress provocatively because it serves them well, most of the time. Occasionally however, it backfires. That’s all she’s saying.
