BILL NUMBER: SCR 106 introduced by Senators Romero (and others) in California 'would recognize April 23, 2008 as "Denim Day California" and would encourage everyone to wear jeans on that day to help communicate the message that there is no excuse for, and never an invitation to, rape'.
Whoa! Wait a second? Who thinks that wearing jeans is an invitation to rape?" [1]
An Italian court, the Court of Cassation which is the highest appeal court in the country, primarily comprising elderly male judges said (in 1999) that women wearing tight jeans could not be raped because such jeans cannot be removed without their consent although that ruling was later rescinded. At the time, the court had 410 male judges and 10 female judges. [2]
