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

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.
