Mayors niece tweets "Don't dress like a whore"

[FatOne]

a slutty looking girl is more likely to be streetwise, hardassed and able to defend herself , whereas a shy girl next door with an innocent air might just trigger an attack.... but I think dressing in a clownsuit is the safest bet of all

I used to believe that rape was no laughing matter, unless you are raping a clown. Then I saw the movie Vulgar. It just wasn't funny at all.

Damn you tshirthell.com and your misleading tshirts!

How a woman is dressed certainly does not give anyone the right to do anything.

Same as wearing expensive jewelry and counting out bills while walking in a bad area at night in some South American country does not give anyone the right to kill you and take your money and jewelry.

However, it is a good idea to take some responsibility for your own actions by not drawing attention to yourself, and by not putting yourself in a bad position.

Bingo.

Yes, a woman has a right to dress how she pleases.

Over here is a dude walking about flashing a wallet full of hundreds, loud, boastful, brash, pissed. He's perfectly entitled to be and to do those things. Over there is a dude who is quiet, sober, and self-confident. Which one is going to get robbed on the way home?

Play the percentages.

Bingo again.

There has to be a trigger for it to get triggered. The victim did not create it. The family, community, and society did. Here's a piece of a piece of a thing I wrote, that never (of course) made it past the editor's desk:

"The victim must be made remote. We blame, pity, deify her, so we won't identify a collective brutality in her suffering. An identical distance is insinuated between ourselves and the perpetrator. Disgust, horror, hatred maintain it."

Go ahead. Unleash the hounds.

i can't even figure out what you mean. sometimes flowery text just doesn't fly.

It's what some women think passes for wit and whimsy.

http://www.sexassault.ca/statistics.htm

Of every 100 incidents of sexual assault, only 6 are reported to the police
1 - 2% of "date rape" sexual assaults are reported to the police
1 in 4 North American women will be sexually assaulted during their lifetime
11% of women have physical injury resulting for sexual assault
Only 2 - 4% of all sexual assaults reported are false reports
About 50% of sex assaults occur on dates
60% of sexual abuse/assault victims are under the age of 17
over 80% of sex crime victims are women
80% of sexual assault incidents occur in the home
17% of girls under 16 have experienced some form of incest
83% of disabled women will be sexual assaulted during their lifetime
15% of sexual assault victims are boys under 16
half of all sexual offenders are married or in long term relationships
57% of aboriginal women have been sexually abused
1/5th of all sexual assaults involve a weapon of some sort
80% of assailants are friends and family of the victim
63% of victims suffer physical harm
9% of victims are disfigured from the attack

it would make more sense to blame a woman for just being home with a guy she knows rather than blaming her for what she wears in a dark alley way. or for just simply being disabled and/or aboriginal.

It does not matter if the clothing is long or short, tight or loose etc... What a typical rapist looks for when searching out a target is clothing that is easy to get off or cut away as most professional/experienced rapists carry scissors or a knife with them. Clothes like jeans are typically not preferred as that causes more of a struggle to get off of a victim. Long hair would be preferred as it is easy to control the victim by the hair. So... in short it is not a slut look, but an easily controllable and easily accessible look that rapists go for. If a woman was merely wearing a long, loose sundress a light cut able material you can see how that would be just as easily accessible to a rapist as a short mini skirt to cut away.

a typical rapist is a man that has friends or family that are women. not some creep in an alley way. this isnt hollywood.

to my knowledge, the police never mentioned "rape". so most of the posts in this thread are discussing something that didn't happen. funny.
