In regard to a sexy woman, "asking for it" reinforces the idea that:http://www.echidneofthesnakes.blogspot.com/
For women, sex is trouble.
Men have so little control over their actions that a woman's appearance can provoke them into harassment or worse.
Women have men in mind when they choose what to wear or how to behave.
If a woman dresses or acts in a sexy way in hopes of having sex, then she's fair game for all men.
Women should not or will not clearly initiate or consent to sex. Men have to look for clues, such as the way a woman dresses, to see if she wants it.
Sex is akin to a bar fight in which women provoke men, and the men react in a way that proves their manhood while putting women in their place.
This is very intriguing stuff by Suzie, and it is spot on in terms of how patriarchy reasons. The patriarchy insists that women should be thoroughly passive, and that it must somehow play witchdoctor, inspecting the entrails of female behaviour, in order to discover their mysterious meanings.
This insistence on women's passivity by the patriarchy is necessary in order for women to play the role they are required to, under the patriarchy. That is, they are to be mirrors of men's souls, nothing more and nothing less. So a male looking into a woman is supposed to be able to read his own sex drive, in terms of good or evil, and to make sense of it that way, in relation to other men.
If what he sees in the mirror makes him angry about himself, he may beat or kill the woman, but if what he sees of himself pleases him, he will try to couple with her in a more peaceful manner.
In any case, the patriarchal man is a narcissist who uses women as a means to an end.
