Woke up this morning to read Angela Lansbury suggest that women who make an effort to look good are partly to blame for the negative attention they receive. I understand that she clarified her comment later on but it might be too little too late. Personally I think that its never an acceptable thing to say and victims should never carry any burden of blame, but since she's in her 90s it might just be a generational thing and a view from a different time. Heres the article:

Friday .. I think perhaps it is the 'tone' of your comments example : 'what part of that don't you get' sounds like a put down , but perhaps what you meant to say was 'maybe I didn't explain that vey well' which doesn't sound like a criticism. Hope that clarifies my meaning , if you get my drift .
