BTw, the thread title is misleading. It wasn't Dawkins in the lift.

Maybe because people understood his argument that the woman was in no way threatened, let alone damaged. The man did not assault the woman. He made her an offer. She refused. No problem.

Whereas women in muslim countries suffer actual threats and actual damage and actual assaults and actual abuse of all kinds every day. They don't have the choice to say no. RD is right that this 'case' isn't comparable and the woman is silly to make a fuss about it.

Haven't we all dealt with similar encounters? I have. Since the age of twelve.
