                                                 I 
                                                  just saw on the news, that Italian 
                                                  judges have ruled: a woman wearing 
                                                  jeans cannot be raped. I do 
                                                  not know of any Italian women's 
                                                  rights organizations, or I would 
                                                  have passed this to them; if 
                                                  pulling pants off is by their 
                                                  definition consensual...Maybe 
                                                  some Italian women might try 
                                                  "pantsing" judges in public. 
                                                  It must be legal...right? William

                                                 I, 
                                                  too, saw that newspaper article 
                                                  about "a woman wearing jeans 
                                                  cannot be raped." I know some 
                                                  people are trying to lobby Levi 
                                                  Strauss, to speak out against 
                                                  this fallacy. Hopefully, the 
                                                  US women's groups initiating 
                                                  these efforts can reach their 
                                                  Italian counterparts. My fingers 
                                                  are crossed.
