I sort of disagree with this. I’m a woman myself so I’m not bashing the other sex while saying this but while some men rape decent women for whatever reason (or no reason) they have, a lot of women are unaware of how suggestive their choice of clothing are. In some society, one way or the other, the way you dress counts a bit to how you are perceived by other people. If you dressed a certain way, people will assume things of you.
Also, it’s biological. Men are easily attracted by the mere physical form of women and their ability to hide this attraction is less than women’s ability to avoid their sensual feelings. I’ve read this theory a couple of times, my male cousin have told me himself. Which is why in the pursuit of relationship, in most cases, the male counterpart seems to be more of the pursuer than the female. Basically, even the most decent guys will have a hard time not to think of sexual thoughts seeing Megan Fox in bikini or tight hot pants.
Sure, we can tell men not to rape. But we also have to play our parts by not provoking sexual thoughts in public. Dressing respectfully doesn’t take a lot of effort and it makes one look more sophisticated and elegant as a person.

it is NOT our fucking responsibility to have to dress in a certain way in order to ensure our safety and cater to society’s Outlines Of How A Woman Should Look Like. we should be able to dress HOWEVER THE FUCK WE WANT TO. men can. why the fuck can’t we? it is the RAPIST’S RESPONSIBILITY TO NOT RAPE. the idea that men can’t control themselves is WRONG. having sexual thoughts is something that may not be able to be helped by any person of any sex or gender, sure, but there is absolutely NOTHING that is physically forcing a man into harassing or raping a woman. nothing but his own free will and the fact that fucking assholes like you will forgive his behavior, blame it on someone else, and make him think that it’s fucking okay when it’s NOT OKAY IT IS THE POLAR FUCKING OPPOSITE OF OKAY.you have no idea how many fucking rape culture myths you are perpetuating with your stupid as fuck post and reinforcing our society’s absolutely messed up way of thinking that rape is something that is deserved or provoked. you’re saying it’s the woman’s fault for getting raped and that the fault lies with her, not the rapist. YOU’RE SAYING WOMEN DON’T HAVE THE FREEDOM TO DRESS HOW THEY WANT TO. no, it is not BOTH their faults, it is THE RAPIST’S FAULT FOR RAPING. you could not be more wrong, and as a woman myself, i am completely motherfucking offended by your words right now. you’re saying that women can’t express themselves as they want to, and if they do, they deserve rape. that’s absolutely fucking WRONG. men can control themselves. you are ignorant.i am seriously and honestly disgusted right now.

oh, those poor men, seeing girls in bikinis, and trying with all their might to not think of that woman as a sex object and nothing more. those poor men.
and “men are biologically attracted to women?” uhhhh okay, you go on with your cisthinking badself, just keep your mouth shut as you do so.
