Wow, got to love the image of women existing solely as temptresses made to lead the good man astray =/
"Womens responsibility to keep men from being tempted"..... my god. LOL. Looking at it with reason and logic it sounds so idiotic and medieval and yet it's seen as a perfectly valid statement to many. I suppose in the same way that a man committing adultery, the "mistress" is blamed and looked at with disgust. Because of course she forced him to cheat.

Apart from it being an absolutely ludicruos image to thrust onto women, it really doesn't give men very much credit either. The lust-driven savage? Come on now.
