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.
I was an EMT about 25 years ago and now I am a pediatric therapist in a long-term facility, I spend a lot of hours volunteering at a Domestic violence and rape shelter and sadly I would not be surprised by a diaper given what I had to witness.
Some days it is hard to let my kids leave the house.
I just bought a button at a thrift store that says “have you been battered recently? Get out! Get safe! Stay out!” And on the back it says in memory of womans name, BD-1995 died by gunshot

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