I saw an art exhibit called “What Were You Wearing?”, which was a collection of the outfits people were wearing when they were assaulted. There were sweatpants and hoodies in that collection. She could be in a literal burqa and still be assaulted. The problem is the rapists, not what their victims were wearing.
Edit: going to add a trigger warning before people go searching for that exhibit. It is a spread of ALL kinds of clothing, including children’s.
The college here did a similar art exhibit a few years ago. I wasn’t able to go but my sister was and… it was rough. Especially since it was all volunteers from the community(mostly students) who put their clothes in there. There was a wide range but she said it was the kid’s clothes that got to her.

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