WOMAN DRESSINGS INVITE SEXUAL CRIMES

The old problem dress up and raise its (her?) head again. I am refering to the issue of sexy (?) dressings of our school girls. It seems that the white top of the baju kurung (note: kurung also means 'lock up') is too sexy as the under garment can be seen (if you really, really look!). And this transparency (which we do not have enough in the government) is a big invitation to would be rapist and other sex perverts. The blame is on the young ladies who dress up too 'sexy' and cause the mouth of males to water and jaws drop. The rapist and perverts are not to be blame as they are the 'victims' and are just doing what comes naturally to them.

It was Freud that champion the thinking that criminals are the victims of complex sexual desires which is suppressed by society, norms and tradition. This thinking was later taken up by other psychologists. The result is that laws are passed that look upon criminals as the victims of societies and should be treated as such.

What Freud and other psychologists like him did not take into consideration is that human beings have the ability to control their desires. The power to control our desires is part of our natural factor as human beings, unlike animals. Just like a child is able to control his/her bowel we can control our emotion and desires. Lust is not beyond our control and nobody should be excused just because he cannot control his sexual desires. Society should not put to blame for the weaknesses of a person who commit a crime because he cannot control his perverted sexual feelings.
