Gee. If you don't want that kind of attention, perhaps you should choose a different mode of dress?
I understand the outraged reaction of your female friend, but I'm afraid RAH had a point.
So you do. Whether they're valid is another matter.

Wow! I have to inject myself into this once more. If you are suggestion that when a woman dresses in a sexy manner that it is a valid point of view that she is inviting rape, that her attire should play as a defense for a man who rapes her sorry but no way. Wrong today, wrong in Heinlein's time, just wrong.
I guess I return to my original assessment in large of Heinlein that he had real problems with his views on women and sexual roles in society.
