A leading cleric in the Russian Orthodox Church is under fire for saying that women who wear miniskirts and get drunk should not be surprised if they are raped.

Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin, the head of the Church's department for relations between the church and society, complained that Russian women dressed like strippers.

He suggested a nationwide code should be introduced to ensure both genders dressed more conservatively.

"If she (a woman) is wearing a miniskirt, it is provocative," he said. "If she is drunk at the same time then she is even more provocative, and if she herself is actively seeking contact with people and is then surprised when that contact ends in rape, she is wrong."

Title should be "Dinosaur discovered in Russia". In other news, It's unknown why church attendance among young people is declining...

1. Yeah, miniskirts promote rape in the same way that Ferraris promote high-speed traffic collisions

Do I really have to elaborate on the stupidity of that priest's statement?

[Cleita]

2. Yeah, it's her fault like the patent leather shoes

that act as a mirror up her skirt. So girls shouldn't complain if the boys make dirty remarks if they wear patent leather shoes. :eyes:

3. That's just the vodka talking.

He doesn't talk about his rape fantasies when he's sober.

4. The priest better stay away from the beach.

5. Agree conditionally, "Miniskirts provoke rape" ONLY if the assailant is an immoral, depraved, POS.

6. Darwin Award for being behind the times goes to this guy

Is he like 115 years old?

[Odin2005]

23. No, just Russian. The Russian Orthodox Church makes the Vatican look Progressive.

[Swamp Rat]

7. Ok, then Russian Orthodox cassocks provoke mass murder and child molestation.

Goddamn child-fuckers! :grr:

[Leithan]

8. What a douche

Massive alcohol consumption by men has WAY more to do with it. Hell, enough booze, and the woman could be wearing a full burka, for Pete's sake!

9. What a pity that Russia made religion legal again.

They were so much better off without it.

[Dappleganger]

13. So no freedom is better?

I fail to see how prohibiting one to have religion is good for everyone.

10. As do nun's habits, hijabs, gunny sacks,

School uniforms, trousers, long dresses, short dresses, medium-length dresses, suits of armor, and togas. Shall I go on?

[Ilsa]

12. "...having an orifice, ..." nt

[HockeyMom]

15. And Old Ladies and Baby Girls in diapers

Idiots.

[DesertFlower]

11. made me think of the mid east

where in many countries women have to wear burkas so men don't get excited.

[somone]

14. And men are 25 per cent more intelligent than women?

..."another outspoken cleric, Archpriest Dmitry Smirnov, proposed that women who opted for abortions should be jailed for eight years and claimed men were 25 per cent more intelligent than women."

Hilarious stuff, indeed.

16. another priest with a dirty mind....

[name not needed]

17. I was always under the impression that it was rapists that provoke rape.

[Courtesy Flush]

18. Why is rape always the victim's fault with these guys? nt

[mrcheerful]

19. It comes from that apple/snake temptation by woman of poor Adam of the fig leaf story

Another words men would be celibate monks if women didn't tempt them with the evils of the flesh. How they expected humans to procreate is beyond me if sex is all women tempting men, but anyhow that is how they conclude that rape victims are actually the rapists and the poor rapist is really the victim, twisted. Works well for Palin followers.

20. Rape isn't about skirts. It's an assault.

It's about physical power and violence. I suggest new clothing for this priest, a dunce cap.

[Blue-Jay]

21. Alter Boys provoke rape, leading Russian priest says.

Like I'm going to take what a priest says about rape seriously...

[Odin2005]

22. Russia is going backwards into the Dark Ages.
