In defence of sailors, anyone who ties up a naked woman and kills her is more than slightly perverted. I don't see the distinction that only the Scout would have to be slightly perverted, implying it is more or less what you'd expect from a sailor.I agree it's lazy journalism. To the onlooker I guess any knot where the rope is tied over and around looks 'complicated'. And who else would have a need to tie knots, but a sailor? Unless it were a slightly perverted scout.
Who else ties knots? sailors, scouts, truckers, tree surgeons, campers, back woodsmen, kayakers and other water sports enthusiasts, anyone who uses a roof rack, and hobbyists to name but a few.
