Actually, he didn't even goto this extent in what he said. Funny how when a Muslim makes statements like this, it causes a furore for years to come, yet when these women say this, it's barely even noticed...

'Floozies' to blame in AFL sexual assaults, say women

A NEW study into women's attitudes towards sexual misconduct in the AFL has found women don't always blame footballers for creating trouble.

More than 80 women, all AFL supporters or club members, were interviewed for the study, which found that women's reactions to allegations of sexual assault ranged from disgust, to blaming the victim, to suggestions that sexually aggressive women target footballers.

The study was sparked by allegations of sexual assault against AFL players in 2004.

In the past year the AFL has dealt with allegations of rape against former St Kilda player Andrew Lovett and of sexual assault against Brisbane's Brendan Fevola, as well as investigated the relationship two Saints players had with a Melbourne schoolgirl who became pregnant.

The study's co-author, Deakin University's Dr Peter Mewett, said three general responses dominated when discussing sexual misconduct.

''One response, as you might expect, is utter disgust. That is usually accompanied by: 'It could never happen at my club,' '' he said.

The second response was: ''If only the victims were a bit more sensible and realised what could go on, they wouldn't find themselves in those sorts of situations,'' Dr Mewett said.

The third response was: ''If you get - and some of them used this terminology - a young floozie flashing her boobs at these guys, then what do you expect them to do? Again, it's victim-blaming kind of stuff.''

That position was highlighted in a response from one woman who said: ''I know this sounds terrible, the girls are the ones that put themselves in a position. They are the ones that are flirting all over them and then the guys go 'Ah, OK' and at the end of the night just go home with them because they are like 'Ah' whatever, she's just there.''

Dr Mewett said predatory women, or ''groupies'', who set out to ''get another notch on the belt'' could find themselves in danger when a player wanted more than they had expected.

Another woman recounted a scene in a nightclub. ''Girls ran at them [players] - literally - like they've sat down at their seats and these girls just appeared out of nowhere and started dancing basically right on their laps … like full-on in there not giving them any space. When you see that happening, you see what they [players] have to deal with.''

One woman said: ''One of my sister's friends, she lived with this girl who would only sleep with AFL footballers and she has had some of the largest names - which I won't mention, obviously - who were married.''

However, other women said footballers were the aggressors, acting ''cocky'' to women and thinking ''they were god's gift'' in expecting casual sex. If that did not eventuate, verbal or physical abuse could occur.

''I've got hit on by nearly every single one of them and I tell you what, they don't like no for an answer at all,'' said one woman.

The state government and the AFL will produce a DVD for footballers about issues relating to violence against women.

Maybe Abu wants women to all wear burkas ?

Is a pre-requiste in Islam,as the men are unable to control themselves.

With this sportsman thing that girls have, neither side are the innocent party

It appears you didn't read it fd (as usual), but just added your 1 cent worth (that simply can't be counted as 2 cents) anyway.

The Sheikh's sentiments have been echoed by average women who were surveyed, not by the footy groupies.

By posting that, are you attempting to assert that all female supporters/members are "groupie scrubbers"?

I think I'd be much more in touch than you fd. Regardless that's got nothing to do with this thread. It's about women holding pretty much the same view that everyone went troppo over when Sheikh Taj expressed it... My guess is a lot of Aussies would probably agree with it, but won't admit it.

Abu, if you had any concern at all for the interests of women, you would have realised that this was not about whether they agreed with the Sheik. There is a big difference between what he said and what these women said. You seem to share his blindness to that difference. It is the inability or simple unwillingness of so many Muslims to make that distinction that triggered the public outcry.

OK Abu, please point out where these women equated a woman walking down the street without her tent on with predatory sexual behaviour?

Poor them.

Rape has very little to do with women acting provocatively, but rather  about power and forced submission. I've read about pedophiles who see children as provocative.

What rubbish. !!

It's called controlling yourself and if you can't - then do something about it

Saying a woman asks for it. makes them not better than an animal who knows no better.

Those days are gone in this society, so if you don't like it go elswhere and put chastity belts on you MEN
