This is a hard one because some men don’t care about what a woman is wearing. It’s a case of them leaving their home with the sole purpose of finding a female to do that too and it’s a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time regardless of your clothes. But there are also guys who go out and do not intend to rape a woman. Say he meets her she’s being flirty and saying yes to start with then changes her mind and says no, some men ignore that change of mind and feel because she said yes before, that still stands. It’s not always about what a girl is wearing but more about the male. I’ve had a guy I said no to and he still tried. I was drunk and he tried to use that to his advantage. He wanted me and me saying no was not what he wanted to hear!! Luckily I had good friends who intervened! I’ve also had guys who I said no to and they respected that and walked away.
I mean if people have no issues raping babies then I don’t really see how clothing plays a part in it
I do not think that any one (despite what keeps being stated) thinks that the clothes increase the chance of rape. What is believed (and rightly so) is that behavior can increase your chances of rape. If you are flirty and drinking you can give the wrong impression and with impaired judgment and others having impaired judgment your chances increase. If your drinking and you don't watch your drink this opens you up to exploitation by bad people (no different then walking down a dark alley in a bad neighborhood at night. You may not be asking for it, you may not deserve it, but your actions are putting you in a situation where its far more likely to occur and your trusting in bad people to just choose not to be bad (which is foolish)).
It won't make the slightest bit of difference, because I don't think rape is as much about lust, as in the exercise of power by one person over another.

In my personal experience you have been harassed sexually for the clothes that I wore. Don't wear something that you would not be proud of. If you are ready sexually appealing just by your physical looks alone, nine out of 10 times no matter what you wear you will still attract their attention. It's best you don't wear clothes that is to form fitting to your body. The reveals too much of your cleavage, and does not exposed too much of how your curves are. These are the things what gets men to lust after you, especially if you already got the body that they desire. They will still try to go after you anyway, but you will have far less of an issue if you just do it right for yourself. An example is that you have a girl that is big chested like me, but you wear a low v-neck cut shirt. That is not a good thing because we are already got the bust. We don't need guys to get the idea that we want the attention. At the same time, even if you are dressing modestly, remember that how you choose to interact with these men will determine whether or not they're going to attempt to do these things. If they stopped calling and whistling at you, ignore them. Do not give them the time nor the attention of the day. I had a lot of guys tell me that the only reason why they do these things is because Other Woman allow them to do it. So that means even if someone like me trying to tell him that all women are not the same, they still going to think that it's okay to do because other woman who allow it will still do it.
You also have to have an understanding of how the men think. Men think about sex every 5 minutes all day everyday. Especially if they are already sexually active. So why would you be stupid enough to entice for the problems to you. You got to be mindful of the culture you have. Because our culture is most sexually revealing, that's all it really takes to entice a man want to have sex with you. And I know because my own father was like that when he was younger. He felt that if women was not going to give him sex he felt like becoming a rapist. So is less to do about power, and more about motivation sexually. As long as women continue to give men power to allow them to have free sexual choices before marriage especially, this is what gets them to desire it more. They feel they are entitled to get what they want, no matter who the victim is. The thing is is that a person especially a woman who holds the stuff around it's not as sexually exciting to rapist as those that are unwilling. Which means you don't always try to wear a low-cut skirt just to attract a man. If you're already got Curves in the thighs in the hips and you're wearing a skinny jeans, remember you are showing him the shape of your body. It doesn't take much for a man to imagine what you'll be like naked.
What she is wearing has absolutely nothing to do with her risk of being raped.
Rape is about power over someone else, weaker, smaller. A person who rapes won't go after you because of your clothing, or lack there of, they will go after you because they can, because they want to.
The only counter to it is to learn self defense. Even that might not work..
And no I'm not an advocate for things like "teach men not to rape" because that kind of thing is only perpetrated by a very small portion of the population.. and also because women rape, molest, and sexual assault too.
While I DO think that wearing revealing clothing can play a part in a rapest selecting a target of opportunity, there is still some additional context. It's also about WHERE you wear such clothes and the situation.
Going to places where people are drinking (a bar, a house party) and where there is little to no sober security puts you at higher risk, and in those situations, clothing can make it more likely to be targeted - especially if you (the girl) are also drinking. You may have a guy who is a criminal, but can keep himself out of trouble when he is sober, but as soon as he is drunk or high, he reverts back to being a criminal rapest on the hunt for a victim, and THAT guy can be drawn in by revealing clothing.
I'm in no way justifying the rape no matter what the girl is wearing, but you can't be naive enough to believe that clothes play no role ever.
The answer, of course, is that her choice of clothing won't make a lick of difference.
But, in the spirit of your post, I shall offer an alternative:
Unlike some others, I do believe that what a woman wears can increase her chances of being raped. Simply by wearing clothes that are more noticeable, and make the girls stand out more, can make her noticed more easily, including by a rapist. Even if the clothes are modest. it's logical that being noticed is necessary in order to be raped. Of course I'm way over simplifying this. I do not believe that the majority of women who are raped, are raped because a rapist saw something in their clothing that made them take notice of them above anyone other women. Just sometimes. I also believe that this is absolutely no excuse for rape. A woman should be able to walk down the street naked, and not be raped.
Wearing revealing clothing does not get a woman raped. That's the stupidest thing I ever heard.
People do not rape because they are turned on.
People rate for power, authority, and control. It is more common for more reserved people to get raped in the world.
"revealing clothing increases a woman's chance of being raped."
Well they very well could. That doesn't mean it's okay. But scumbags who do these things could be more likely target a woman who's wearing very revealing/sexy outfits. No, that doesn't mean it's okay, no that does not mean it's the woman's fault. But you can't be anti-factual about it.
@JimRSmith hit the nail on the head.
But I don't know, maybe they could wear an entirely carpeted morph suit, so if anyone tries to stick it in em, the static electricity'll shock em in the eurethra.
I do think modest dress plays a part in rape. I only wear skirts cause in the Bible it says a woman shall not dress like a man and a man shall not dress like a woman (I’m paraphrasing, and I’m Jewish btw). You don’t have to cover from head to toe. I think if you cover your waist, stomach, bum, thighs, and chest with normal clothes (not super tight ones) then that’s modest. And wear shorts under skirts always or leggings. I think wearing revealing clothing just makes people think about sex even subconsciously and there’s no need to be thinking about that all the time.
Of course some people say rape is to show dominance and power and in that case I don’t know if clothing plays a part.
First and last one are funny 😂
Non of them would make any difference when it comes to it most times.
Just like other perpetrators they are looking for a certain prey that fits in to what they are after.
Many times is it how we behave, what kind of signals we project.
1. Stop being paranoid. Your beliefs help dictate your reality. If you believe you're gonna get raped, you will unconsciously take actions that will lead you into those kinds of dangerous positions
2. Surround yourself with good people.
3. Stop listening to feminist media. Links to point number 1. Your paranoia of guys will make it more difficult for you to have a legitimately decent relationship with decent people. Not to mention feminism does more harm to actual victims of sexual assault by purporting false allegations.
4. Exercise emotional and social intelligence to weed out anyone with negative habits and attract those with positive ones.
5. Learn self defense.
Option D will probably do, C for certain cultural backgrounds. But in general its only the fault of the clothes if it has text on it like "I love forced sex, fuck me rough i want you to". Other then that people need to keep there hands at home.
As for a nice balance between sexy and modest for a day out?
This is by far one of the most ridiculous things I've seen on this site.
Us Women should NOT have to dress according to anyone or anything, it is NOT OUR FAULT that some men in this disgusting world loose control easily, that is their fault. They should be able to control themselves despite what they see or do !
Saying you have herpes or HIV won't stop a rapist. Most of the time the rapists already have those diseases and they are just giving the finger to the world.
Covering up or saying you are a man won't work either. If you look pretty to them they will find a hole to use.
Full armor will work if you also carry a knife or weapon.
My best advice would be to carry pepper spray, or a gun. Pepper spray doesn't need much practice. If you choose taking a gun , get properly trained. Confrontations go so quick and you can't be fumbling around.
Your clothing is not important... Children in light up shoes are getting raped. I really wish people would stop policing women's bodies. Rapists are what women shouldn't wear. Fuck them.
Dress like the clown from It. They will be too confused or scared if they have a phobia of clowns.
They can wear anything they like, all they have to learn how to kick the balls out! that would best way to deal with rapist!
I think your being a bit stupid here - but perhaps that's your point.
