Personally, I don't think it has anything to do with showing genitalia ... just like rape has nothing to do with wanting sex ... it is an agressive act .... in this world we live in, women have to be on their guard about a lot of things...not closing down all avenues, but aware that a dangerous male is always a possibility. And such actions translate to a male forcing his will upon others, at least that's the way I interpret it.

Me, I've been flashed before a couple of times and I never even saw it ... my friend who was with me on those occassions did and commented to me about it and how scary it was ... seems men often choose the dark of night for such actions. I've just been clueless to it happening.
