- No flames please.

- In article <63570@mimsy.umd.edu>, you write:

-
- Yes, probably. But that may in fact be a misunderstanding (depending
- on what the quote was originally meant to mean):
-
- I have heard (from a feminist!) that this really often works.
- Since rapers are usually very anxious people, they often panic and
- flee if their supposed victim says "Yes, come and take me".
-
- No joke.
