Boys get raped- but this post is about the attitude towards women who are raped and then blamed for it. When a man is raped, do you ever hear them say he shouldn't have been wearing revealing clothing? Or staying out late by himself? Or asked how many sexual partners he has had previously? No, you don't, but women who are raped do.
Actually saviourself, I have heard of men being told their shirts were too tight and showed their abs, or they were wearing too short/tight shorts? There was actually an entire type of awareness campaign in my town where victims would come up and explain that they were told most of the reasons women are told as to why they were raped in the first place! And how organisations refused to help them 'because they were men and men don't get raped' I'm done with this thing that only women are told this only! I saw at least 20 people walk up on that stage that morning, there were much more but my mom was done shopping. I asked if I could stay there while she shopped. These men poured their hearts out!
I would love to know what town you're in, that sounds like a very interesting campaign. I tried to Google some of the key aspects that you described to see if I could find to organization, but all I could find was speak out groups like "Men Can Stop Rape" and "RAINN." A large majority of rape that occurs is male on male rape, and in institutions like prison or in power play situations like pedophilia. I have never heard clothing discussed as a factor in any of those cases.
That's absolutely false. Children get raped- are they to blame? Are they promiscuous? Muslim women with nothing showing but their eyes get raped. One in four women in the United States is raped before they turn thirty- that is your sister, your mother, your girlfriends, your neighbors. How can you take the blame from the rapists and put it on them?
Men are not animals, to say they see skin or a drunk woman and cannot help but have sex with her is equally disgusting and degrading. Men should be offended and repulsed by these lies as well.
Blaming the victim is a sickness, one people catch from there own preconceptions and standards. You need to look at why you think that. If you are a man, do you think of woman as targets in that way? If you are a woman, haven't you ever been afraid? Think before you judge.
They have asked stranger rapists who have been caught what they look for in a woman. Never once have they said that they look for someone attractive or wearing immodest clothing. In fact, they rarely even remember what the girl was wearing. It can happen during the day. What they look for is someone who isn't going to be noticed. They look for the easiest victim, because they're horrible cowardly people who like feeling as though they have power. Rape isn't about sex, it's about power, and no matter what, it is never the victim's fault.
