I place
Singer Chrissie Hynde has come under fire for suggesting it can be a woman's fault if she is raped.
I place 95% of the blame on the rapist. Hormone or chemical problems in the rapist. Mental and/or psychological issues.
Raping a woman is violent......with or without a weapon, and to me that is the same arena as violenting stabbing someone with a knife, repeatedly hitting someone in the head with a baseball bat, or a machete attack. Violent, one on one, eyes to eyes, breath to breath close. Some people can kill only with a handgun or rifle at distance. Others can kill at a distance, or right up in your face......and are the most dangerous and unpredictable.
If a guy notices a womans "34 D Cups", her nice and long flowing hair, her perfect butt, a winning personality and a smile - while smiling at everyone she greets ; I believe what ever she is wearing is irrelevant. Some things sets differnet people off. Pretty eyes, breast, buttocks, popularity at work. One, or a combination of things as I believe, can make a man want to rape.
Good looking guys rape, as does ugly and less prominent men. Think on that one a bit.
One average female a rapist is interested in may have the qualities that he is interested in, versus a more attractive and prettier female. Sometimes it is Apples and Oranges ; and sometimes it is not. He make like the shy girl who is attractive, and not be interested in the woman whom wears a short dress to work with her breast popping out -----> Or vice versa.
The other 5% of the time, I believe it is the womans fault. Why wear tight tank tops that are low cut, with a pair of tight jeans if they did not want men to look, or notice them? Why wear the short skirt and tight blouse that is unbuttoned to reveal a lot of cleavage with the aid of a underwire or pushup bra.... if they did not want men to look at them? Why would a woman wear a tight dress, mid thigh in length with a push up bra that makes their "C" or "D" cups stick out tremendously....if they did not want men to notice them.....why would women do that? They dress like this, then get mad when a guy walks by them and smiles, or turns around and whistles after they walk by.
Women dressing nice, and dressing to attract attention is two different things. Women need to remember that when they are standing in line at the movie theater, walking down the sidewalk....AT NIGHT, or on the city transit bus at 2 am.
Teased and fluffy hair, short skirts or tight jeans, and lots of cleavage is going to get whistles, smiles and comments. It is not the sole reason for a rape........but a small contribution to the cause.
Thinking right off the top of my head, irregardless of dress and appearance, women whom are popular and conversive with co-workers and friends are prime #1 targets.
