However, this still leaves the question of does it make sense to do this? Is it what we want to do? If you ask my personal opinion, hell no! Does my personal opinion change the reality that we as sapient beings can influence our likelihood of violence? Hell no!
But it would seem that if the consensus was that attire can influence the probability of rape, and women were aware of the correlation, then they could take appropriate (given their mindset and circumstances) precautions to reduce this probability. What the hell is so radical about this concept?
But what attire? There are some men who are sexually attracted to women dressed jeans, business clothes, skimpy clothes, sweatpants and t-shirts normally worn while jogging (etc), night gowns, dressing gowns, high heels, flats, bare feet.
So what "appropriate precautions" should women take in light of this? What about men?
You see, not every man (or woman for that matter) who is a rapist or would be rapist is attracted to the same thing, or would find the same thing appealing. So please, enlighten us. What precautions in regards to clothing should women take, knowing that there will be some pervert who will be attracted to them regardless of what they are wearing, or who will be attracted to their clothes even if it is conservative, sporty or skimpy.. that no matter what she happens to be wearing, there might just be someone out there who will be drawn to it and rape her. How exactly should she choose her wardrobe, knowing that somewhere out there, there might be someone who will be drawn to it regardless. If she wears conservative clothes, she might draw attention to herself, just as if she wore skimpy clothes might draw the attention of a different person. So what advice do you have for women in that regard?
Well?
