A few more interesting reads on women in journalism:
On reporters and rape: Three ideas worth rising about the cacophony
If women never went anywhere where we risked being sexually assaulted, we’d never go anywhere, period. We certainly couldn’t go to work on foreign aid projects. Or to U.S. military academies. Not to college. Not on dates. Not to parties. Not to bars. Or on cruises. Not to work as models. Or security contractors. Except that even if we never went any of those places, we’d still be screwed (pun intended) because of course a high percentage of rapes happen in the home, committed by perpetrators whom the victims know. Putting the responsibility on women to prevent sexual assault by restricting their own behavior – or on their employers to limit it for them – won’t actually solve the problem, it will just reinforce gendered norms about what “good” women “should” do.
And, finally, the idea that Lara Logan was “more at risk” of sexual assault because she was attractive is laughable. I’d be interested to know what fuckability threshold women should stay below in order to be safe from rape. Could Logan have just added some thick glasses? What if she had spinach in her teeth? How about if she gained 20 pounds – then would she be safe from the mob of 200 people who apparently decided to subject her to a prolonged beating and repeated sexual assaults because her delicate beauty stirred their romantic longings? Give me a break. Rape is about power, not how cute the victim is.
I have two things to add:
1) Women can only reduce their chances of being assaulted, we cannot prevent rape – preventing rape involves preventing the behavior of rape.
2) It’s very sad the discussion of rape still has to focus on the women – her looks, her actions, what she wore… Why are her characteristics more important than the characteristics of the rapists? Why are they immune from scrutiny and accountabilty?
Media Misses 
Lara Logan’s prostituting herself in the streets is no acceptable kind of behavior when she’s essentially representing the U.S.A.
And by “prostituting” you mean…?
This was a human being who suffered an assault on her person and was gang raped. Rape is the behavior of the rapist, men in this case. Men should be held accountable.
Blaming women for what they wore/what they said/etc. is called blaming the victim and excusing & giving impunity to the perpetrators for THEIR behavior.
Furthermore, referring to a professional reporter as “prostituting” is misogyny – no matter if you’re a woman – you can still be a woman-hater.
