Um, yeah. I or any other woman are perfectly entitled to dress however the hell one wants without that being taken as an invitation to be assaulted. Responsibility to dress modestly my arse. What is this, the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints? The label of "politically incorrect" is so often merely a term to weasel out of justified charges of ignorance and bigotry towards oppressed groups, and so it is here. He's a Supreme Court judge, for gods sake. He's expected - or bloody well should be - to, y'know, be pretty down with the whole "women are human" concept. …wow.
