Some don't think enough about their clothing choices and they need help.. Then there are those who need some mental rewiring because they intentionally dress the way they do. Its not going to a store and finding a skirt you like and thinking "Maybe this is a little too short, or maybe its just me".. Its going to a store and looking for the shortest possible skirt/shorts/dresses. Then you've got problems. If you stuck my four year old cousin in a store she could do a better job of picking an outfit out for the people.
Where has peoples sanity gone?

Not to start a debate about rape... But I don't think its the clothes (most of the time) that brings a man to rape you. Thats like saying its the woman's fault because he couldn't control his act of violence. Rape isn't about sex, its about dominating and controlling and violating someone with violence.
Wearing slutty clothes may bring on some unwanted comments, and yes women should think twice about what they wear and where they are going, like the ghetto not the place to wear those boy shorts. But I don't think it should matter, men should not be given the excuse that she was wearing a low cut shirt and barely their shorts and thats why I violated her.

im not saying that wearing slutty clothes will get you raped cause the man cant control him self but WHY give the invitation by wearing clothes like that to begin with. a low cut shirt is alright. a short skirt is alright but dont dress like a freakin hooker you'll give guys the wrong idea.

Again, I don't agree its an invitation to anything physical. Maybe an invitation to whistles and "cat calls" and up and down looks, but thats it. Any physical contact is sexual harassment if its unwanted contact.
I should be allowed to wear whatever I want without worry that a man will come up to me and try to touch me. Thats my right to dress the way I feel like, it is not their right to touch me.
PS. I could care less what "ideas" they have! It is just plain wrong to touch me without invitation, and I will exercise my right to stop them or file a claim against someone who tries.

Good points =P i have my opinions you have yours. and yeah i agree that you should wear what you want without having to deal with unwanted attentions but dressing like a hooker isnt a great way to do that because just because we THINK guys should exercise self cntrol doesnt mean they will. not everything happens as it should. because there are more scumbags than decent people in this world. Im not saying its right or thats the way it always is im just voicing my opinion from what i've seen.

not to get into the whole debate of rape, but I've been raped and after that i did a lot of volunteer work in a rape crises center and almost all of the girls that came to the counseling sessions and when talking about what they thought they could have done different no many mention clothes cause most of them were in jeans and t-shirts (which is what i was wearing when i was attacked) I believe that i should be allowed to walk down the street naked if i wanted to and not be touched by anyone--looks and cat calls are one thing but forcing yourself on someone is never right. No matter what the person is wearing.
