so why don't you change the pronouns? in my book true memefication is about the gist, the idea, not the precise wording. i see that the attribution has already been lost since i first saw this one, *little grin*, so how much does the precise wording matter?

aside from the gendered pronoun use, i feel this one doesn't particularly bash men. ad even the pronoun use makes sense, because the lead-in is pretty specific to the things said about how women should behave. i don't recall ever hearing that men might be asking for it by the way they're dressed, or just by the fact that they're walking alone after dark. victim-blaming directed at men is different. i think it avoids male-bashing for me because of the way it's addressed, and it uses the hypothetical voice.
