More. And that's goes back to my thoughts about how we use language.

The implied threat that exists when a man makes comments about one's body.

I'm in thought of the implied sense of ownership that accompanies, say, the expression, "I'd have a piece of that."

As though a woman's body is offered simply by appearing in public.

And the threat is not an offer of making love as much as it is in taking something away for himself.
