The notion that a rape victim deserved to be raped because she was wearing a tight outfit lights up all our red lights. This is the case first and foremost because it absolves the rapist of responsibility for his crime.
Then too, attempts to blame a rape victim for her victimization infuriate us because they are substantively untrue. If men are more likely to rape women in tight clothing then rape should be all but non-existent in traditional Islamic societies. Yet the opposite is the case.

When a male animal comes around a female animal in heat they are going to mate.
When a human “animal” sees a woman in a tight, sexy outfit it sets off desires the “animal” can’t control.
There are more muslim “animals” than there are “other” animals. So, short dresses aren’t required for them to show what they are.
Most human “animals” can control themselves.
