Having your shirt or clothing off on the beach is a little normal. Having your clothing semi-off in the middle of the large public elsewhere is not. You have to understand that the public domain is for everybody, we try to keep things safe and wholesome for everybody. Dressing inappropriately not only draws attention but violates other people's privacy and sends the wrong message to little innocent children. There is no reason why women have to show their half boob in public, many women don't dress provocatively and still get plenty of attention and dates. Objectification of women is the number one cause of rape in any country, and as long as women continue to reinstate this factor by dressing exposed, its not helping either. No, you can't solely blame the rapist, just because its not a crime to dress like you are about to have sex with everybody doesn't mean its not violating other people's interest on decency. If men dress with one testacle clearly showing, and laden with pheromone colognes, all of that rubish, it would clearly look like the man wants to have sex with everybody. Dressing inappropriately sends a clear message, whether you are a man or a women, and this message is deciphered differently by different people.
YES, you can soley blame the rapist. What don't you understand? Despite what people wear, say, look like, or do, it is ultimately the rapist's choice to commit the act. That blame is solely with the rapist. No one is forcing them to rape.
"many women don't dress provocatively and still get plenty of attention and dates"
Yeah, and many of those same women are raped all over the world.
"just because its not a crime to dress like you are about to have sex with everybody doesn't mean its not violating other people's interest on decency"
Yes. You then, have the choice to remove yourself from the situation if someone's dress is offending you. Someone who is being raped does not have that luxury. That is why rape is different. You are forcibly taking something from someone and leaving them no option to say no.
"If men dress with one testacle clearly showing, and laden with pheromone colognes, all of that rubish, it would clearly look like the man wants to have sex with everybody."
Just because it looks like someone wants to have sex does NOT mean it is okay to force someone to commit the act. If you go to a stripclub, knowing that people will be half-naked or naked, it is okay to rape them? No.
"Dressing inappropriately sends a clear message, whether you are a man or a women, and this message is deciphered differently by different people"
A clear message to whom? As many people have already pointed out, there is no universal "I want to have sex" message that makes it okay to rape. You even say it yourself, "this message is deciphered differently", so the message really isn't that clear at all, is it? I invite you to conduct your own personal experiment; gather a bunch of men, women and children, cover them in horse-blankets head to toe, and then lock them in some where with a couple rapists. Do you really think everybody will come out unscathed? Your answer should be no. A persons dress might be an excuse for a rapist, but when it comes down to it, the rapist will still rape no matter what the person is wearing. That is why clothing is not a factor in determining who is to blame for a rape incident. The rapist chose, of their own free will, to commit the act, and is then solely to blame. Not the girl who wears the provocative dress, or the man who wears tight jeans, or the child who wore a bathing suit in her front yard for the rapists of the world to see.
