Why would I answer an irrelevant question?

Wow, that's so passive. It all just "happens" somehow, no-one need
take any active role whatsoever.

I don't recall him ever stating that he intended to do so. Indeed, it
would be hard to imagine whatever for, since SlimVirgin is one of the

Next you'll be blaming rape on all those women who walk around dressed
in "provocative" clothes.
