Granted, it's the criminal's fault, entirely, for committing a crime/sin.
However, saying that a woman's attire has no bearing on the matter whatsoever is like saying that it's not the tourist's fault he got mugged, even though he walked down a dark alley in a bad part of town, where people had warned him there were frequent muggings.
The criminals who mugged the tourist are entirely at fault, but doesn't the tourist bear some responsibility for behaving in an unwise manner?
Satan is roaming about seeking whom he may devour. Why give him extra opportunity?
I could be wrong, but perhaps that's where Candle7 is coming from when he says "it is important to dress modestly to help prevent" bad things.
Quite the opposite, actually. Attempting to enforce modesty objectifies a woman's body as solely a means for sex and encourages rather than deterring rapists. I don't rape someone because I get horny on seeing a chick in a bikini, I rape someone because I don't view the woman as a human being and instead as a thing I can have sex with. If her body is only a sexual object, then why should I view her as anything but?FllMtl Novelist wrote:Regardless of whether it was the intention, modesty doesn't prevent anything.

My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.

I was wondering because I had started to watch it with my sister once and a boy said he did so we stopped watching it, but the review on CAA says nothing about that. Was it just mistranslated?

The only two normalish romance anime I remember enjoying are Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun and Hotarubi no Mori e. My MAL profile is linked in my signature, though I really haven't seen or read many other romantic things so I dunno how much help that will be.
Socially awkward and dorky characters are a plus, as is any on-screen and non-rapey kissing, though neither are required.
I can't think of any content I'm concerned about; my only real requirement is that the show (or the first season of it) be less than thirty episodes.
I have no idea where to look for good titles, so any recommendations would be highly appreciated!

She has only seen the first season of DBZ and howls moving castle and she enjoyed them both very much, I tied Trigun on her but its starts off too slow so she lost interest. I like all different kinds of anime so I don't know what direction to go in with her. All I know is she would like, Action/Romance, light comedy but not a lot of fanservice, epic battle scenes or like romantic battle scenes like save the girl lol, nothing too long definitely no more than 50 episodes preferably less, language isn't a big problem as long as its not overboard. Idk though you guys can stray from these a little too, shes new to anime so maybe some shows you guys have tried on other newbies

It was a while ago but I think he was blonde. What happened was the blonde dude was telling another guy that he found this doll, and it had this tag that read "if you want to trade you soul for help then hammer in a nail into the doll" and the blonde haired dude did or something along the lines of that.

Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai!, it's more a romantic comedy than just fluffy romance, but since you liked Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun... It's definitely got social awkward and dorky-ness. 12 episodes.

You might try Princess Tutu as well. It's pretty comedic at time (as the main character is a sometimes duck - haha) BUT it is also cute and romantic at times as well. A pretty good mix, but it has 38 episodes... (I think it's divide into 2 seasons, though).

Lovely Complex - 24 episodes - Height complexes!
Kimi ni Todoke - 25 episodes (first season) - Socially awkward main character!
Sukitte Ii na Yo - 13 episodes - Socially awkward main character. Buuuuut there's a kiss in the first episode that's pretty creepy?
Kamisama Kiss - 13 episodes - Pretty decent shoujo anime iirc.
