Indecent exposure and the subversion of masculinity

While I was away, two young women were assaulted for dressing in a manner that offended the sensibilities of the "ordinary man in the streets."

The latter is a legal formulation that defines the collective known as raia, or the citizens, even though it is common knowledge that the men who hang about our streets are no ordinary mortals. They are opportunists who sit and wait for something to happen and seize the moment to gain something for nothing.
