Not everyone responds in that way. I personally know a victim of abuse who took 30 years to be able to tell anyone at all.
I'm a big, hairy, scruffy guy and I can understand women ( or anyone really ) feeling uncomfortable if I suddenly loomed out of the darkness.
I am, however not an animal or powerless against my base nature. The assumption that a man is incapable of controling himself is inherant in the "she was asking for it dressed like that" garbage.
I can control my "urges" just fine thankyou. I also know not to take offense if perfect strangers don't know that. If that avoids them being attacked by a real predator then it is worth that little wince I felt at being mistaken for one.
