Annehathaway, I agree with whatever you said 100% but as always there is a little more to think about.
We are human beings, a step above the animals yet animal instinct runs amok many times more than you'd think is warranted. There is such a thing as sexual attraction and you cannot deny that it starts from the flesh, specially for people who do not get to have as much sex as they want or any sex to be precise.
You are perfectly correct that any abuse is wrong and anything without consent is wrong but simply saying the rules does not undo the thousands of years of genetic programming that is thought to exist in order to continue the species. We humans have developed a lot and language has played an enormous role in defining what is right and what is wrong but still we have seen increasing number of rape and non consensual sexual activity specially initiated by the male involved.
So, although males know it is a punishable crime, they still do it and it continues to be a big problem in our civilized society. As I have stated earlier, it's the animal instinct, the sexual desire naturaly inherent to animals to continue their specy, that kicks in and horrendous crimes are committed.
These crimes are wrong, they take away personal freedom and they impact the freedom of women, but as we hear news everyday, it is not going away anytime soon.
So what is the solution?
In my opinion, the solution or perhaps a way to deal with the situation is to not to attract such unnecessary attention that could trigger undesirable desires on men who have lesser control on their animal instincts. Wearing revealing clothes may be a trigger for these men so perhaps being a little more conservative depending on where you are at, may be a good way to hope to keep the harmony intact.
I mean, this is a genetically programmed response and even though we live in a civilized society, it is apparently very difficult for seemingly normal men to control depending on the situation.
Am I condoning their behavior? No, not at all. These men are not fit to live in a civilized world and they should get the harshest punishment there is in the land. They do not have any right to impose themselves physically onto anyone.
But, reality of the situation is, there are these men around and you never know who will turn into one. Wearing revealing clothes are known to turn men on, and perhaps turn on their animal instinct to commit anti social crimes, so human rights, womens rights aside, I believe that it is just common sense to not wear too revealing clothes depending on where you are at.
And this is a reality check.
