Milt,

My point was certainly not that the girls should have enjoyed what this man did.  And I agree with you that boys would most likely also beat up a man who did the same thing.  

My point is that teenage girls do have good reason to feel threatened by men, and that IS obvious.  I'm not wondering why, because that's also obvious, but how this might change the way women are trained in MA's or self defense.  Also, why does it seem that men expose themselves much more than women?  I'm sure this is probably a power issue.  Should that be addressed in SD training, or will the training bring about a change that addresses it?

An interesting thought came to mind as I read the above article...not that I in any way agree with Susanto's behavior, I don't...but what do you imagine 20 teenage boys would do if a 25 year old woman exposed herself to them?  Beat the woman up?  What accounts for the difference in reactions?  

On yet another note, "corrupting the morals of a minor" sounds a bit scary.  I remember seeing on the back of a customs form when entering a communist country, that it is illegal to import materials that "corrupt the morals of a minor", or something to that effect.
