Why not punish the (horny) men? (Indonesia bans miniskirts)

Indonesia's powerful religious affairs minister believes that mini-skirts are pornographic and should be banned under the country’s tough new anti-porn laws.
Minister Suryadharma Ali has been appointed to run Indonesia’s new anti-porn taskforce, announced by president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono earlier this month.
Quote
Earlier this month, the country’s parliamentary speaker Marzuki Alie announced he would draft rules banning female politicians and staff members from wearing mini skirts, saying, “there have been a lot of rape cases and other immoral acts recently and this is because women aren't wearing appropriate clothes”.
“You know what men are like. Provocative clothing will make them do things."

But only in place where there are no foreigners BTW. Places like Bali, where tourism is needed? No problem!

Because men have no self-control.

Tough anti-porn laws? You'll pretty much have to ban the whole Internet to stop porn by any noticeable amount.
History is full of maniacs, my friend, men and women of intelect, highly perceptive individuals, who's brilliant minds know neither restraint nor taboo. Such notions are the devils we must slay for the edification of pony-kind. Even if said edification means violating the rules of decency, society, and rightousness itself.

I think every guy here should be offended by this. Dude essentially think we lack the ability to make responsible choices.
That may be the single gayest thing I have ever read on this board. Or the old one. ;)

Pretty much what all religious authorities assume.  Any man not a member of the clergy is operating at a level just above that of the beast.  And one look at something the triggers lust, and that could be anything it's rather subjective, we become like animals, raping and murdering because we can't control ourselves.  Of course anyone with a lick of sense realizes this is bullshit but unfortunetly, it seems that the men in charge of Indonesia have not a lick of sense between them all and so we get this bullshit.

Ironbite-for the record it's not women who drive me to a murderous rape-spree...IT'S STUPID BULLSHIT LIKE THIS!

Well, taking responsibility for oneself and one's actions goes against most religions, including Christianity and apparently Buddhism.
Whenever I hear a politician speaking strongly for or against abortion, all I hear is, "I have no idea how to fix the economy!"

Seems the places where the powers that be believe men can't control themselves are those with the most theocratic systems and the most repressive religious sects.
