RIP Maya Angelou (died Wednesday 28 May 2014): 7 Pieces of Timeless Wisdom From Maya Angelou
I married a man once because of something he said. We were in England, and somebody
said that women should always expect to be raped if they wore very short pants and low
decolletage and acted "fast." So this man, whom I knew slightly, said, "If a woman has no
panties on and sits with her legs wide open, no man has the right to assault her. When a guy
tells me, 'I couldn't resist because she did sit in such a provocative way,' all I want to know
is if four of her brothers were standing there with baseball bats, would they have resisted?"
