Though very rare (maybe once every 5 years), I have seen women wearing outfits in public that seemed more appropriate for a strip club. In those cases, it seemed like they were inviting men to grope them. I never did, but I could see where someone with less self control might. But there is a world of difference between groping and raping. Rape (e.g., non-consensual sex) should always be criminal, even if a woman is walking around buck naked.
Women like to say they should be able to go anywhere, dressed as scantily as possible, act provocative, get drunk and be safe.
In the best of all possible worlds that might be the case. In that world we wouldn’t need car or house locks and we could walk through any neighborhood flashing gold & diamonds and not have a hair or a possession touched.
We all know that is a fantasy world. While people who assault, rob and rape should be punished it is hypocritical and teaches the wrong lesson to suggest that in many cases the actions of some people are not contributory to the crimes committed against them by stating a woman should be able to walk down the street stark naked and not be assaulted.
We miss the chance to inject reality into the conversation and to make people aware of the dangers to which they are subjecting themselves by their behavior. There are not police following every person every minute to prevent a crime. Whether or not these women should be able to walk alone through the city or act unsafely at bars and venues is irreverent. Society has been cowed & silenced by the loud chorus from the left and has contributed to these crimes by not stating the inadvisability of tempting fate clearly.
I don’t think you are looking very hard if you haven’t noticed the style in women’s panties where they go right up un the space between the gluteals. They are way more prevalent than several times a year. If you casually glance just a little more you will be enlightened.
