I don't see how anyone can say that dressing provacatively doesn't increase the likelihood of rape. It's not like anyone is blaming the victims. It'd be like saying walking around holding stacks of cash in each hand doesn't increase the likelihood of getting robbed. If someone robbed someone holding money, of course they're still guilty. The person holding the money isn't to blame. It'd obviously be smarter, though, to NOT have gold ingots sticking out of every pocket. Likewise, it's obviously smarter to not be half naked walking past dark allies. Why draw attention to yourself?

This seems like one of those things that Keith always talks about where you just immediately feel offended but don't know why. If you don't know exactly why you're offended, I don't think you're allowed to be offended. It's ridiculous to be offended, then make up a reason why you're offended.
