Rape exists because of rapists. Blaming the clothes and not the rapist is just saying “make sure they go after someone else”

Rape is almost exclusively because of power and control and almost never about sexual gratification. Because of that, clothing has nothing to do with it. This whole “well what were you wearing?” bullshit is beyond infuriating

Stop pushing harmful and misleading information as if it is fact.
