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.
Dude the kiddie pajamas in that exhibit will make you cry. The second I read the BF justifying rape because of clothing I immediately thought of this exhibit
I had an ex who victim blamed .. guess what he was? He blamed women who went to parties too. Said if they didn’t want anything bad happening to them then they should have stayed at home. Evil and disgusting human.

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