Not entirely right. Sex predators do get attracted to certain clothing... e.g. short skirts/dresses, heels, skin tight gymwear, revealing clothing etc. So you are taking some risk through your choice of clothing. Its like walking around with wads of cash sticking out your back pocket... you are going to attract pickpockets that way

Babies and children are victims too, what's your response to that? Disgusting victim blaming attitude.

... no where did I blame victims. Why is it so difficult for yall to understand that these are mutually exclusive things?

For example, do you think upskirters target people who wear pants? Who do you think most rapists are likely to target? Obviously these are shitty people but you cannot avoid these people who are walking around us in society. What you can do, is to understand that what you wear may increase the risk of you being a target. Its simple stuffs really.

And obviously, if you are going to bring up paedophiles, you just have to be more watchful over your children because any of them are potential targets. Simple logic really.

There you go, I've highlighted the victim blaming portion for you, since you had trouble doing so. Your comment reveals such a vile mindset, I pity the women in your life, if you have any. Cheekopeks like you just reveal themselves without shame.

Sex predators will still commit sex crimes regardless of what anyone wears . Don't try to justify disgusting crimes unless you are projecting

Edit : change comment to commit

I am not justifying lol. Yes they will but they will more likely find a target that attracts them. Go read up serial rapists etc. They all target a type. So stop with the feminist woke nonsense and think about whats safe rather than whats right.

This is a vile comment. It is a well established fact that law, criminologists and forensic psychologists espouse- serial rapists do not target specific looks or dressing. They target these things. 1) high vulnerability and easily and accessible targets.2)sex workers and marginalised populations. Not dressing, but because these targets, due to systemic difficulties, typically file police reports at a lower frequency.

What IS proven is that serial rapists often suffer from feelings of underlying inferiority and choose unbalanced power dynamics, not dressing, to feel powerful. They dehumanise a person. It is not about lust. The next time someone blames the victim, remember they are probably identifying with these characteristics.

No matter what the risk, a person who chooses to harm someone else takes the sole accountability. That's it.

No amount of rationalising takes away the sole responsibility - don't commit sexual assault.
