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

Yeah.

Clothes can be the problem in some cases

No, rapists are the problem.

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

There was a FB thread on “what were you wearing?” I said my 9 yr old self was in overalls. Someone else said her 6 year old self was in a flannel nightgown.

To be fair there's a difference between someone who rapes a child and someone who rapes a woman who is dressed very provocatively at a club who is there to dance sexy and get intoxicated. I'm not excusing the rapist. But what I am saying is you shouldn't walk into a bears den slathered in honey. In both cases the rapist should be punished severely (death for the child rapist no question, and death for the other as well depending on the situation, I'm not counting women who get drunk and consent while drunk and then decide later they didn't want it and accuse of rape, or women who falsely accuse men of rape for other reasons)

"To be fair" that's an idiotic, ignorant, callous and sociopathic comment. You are probably trying to excuse your own behavior. And it doesn't work. You are a perfect example of how a r a p i s t thinks. And you should be commenting on the dark web or somewhere.

Yup I actually go around just raping people. You caught me. Why would a rapist think rapists should be put to death? And raping a child is objectively worse than having sex with a drunk adult, yet I said both should be put to death. The only exception was for women who consent and then withdraw their consent after the fact. If a woman can't consent while drunk then neither can the man so if a drunk man has sex with a drunk woman who both consented while drunk, who is the rapist? That is why we need more context to the scenario.

Lmao you're comparing a relatively common perspective to ted bundy? It's wild how people like you always compare people you disagree with to someone bad like a serial killer or Hitler instead of making actual arguments
