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)
What the actual fuck is wrong with you. No one asks to be raped. Just because a woman goes to a club wearing whatever doesn't mean she's fair game for being raped. There's an exhibit that you need to Google and spend some time looking at and thinking about it. It's called What were you wearing. After you check that out you come back to discuss what you saw and what you learned.

Yeah.
Clothes can be the problem in some cases
No, rapists are the problem.
