There is a point to what the guy said. I don't dress slutty, but if I did, I'd be carefull where I did it. I would avoid walking through dark areas at night and stay on roads where I felt safe.
Same as if I went out for a drink with a lot of money on me. I wouldn't go into some dingy, rough pub in a bad area, and let it be seen that I was carrying lotss of money. Of course it wouldn't give anyone the right to rob me, but I know that it would increase my chances of being robbed.
In an ideal world, we could go about our business knowing that we were safe from others. Sadly we don't live in an ideal world, and the burden of responsibility for our own safety ultimately rests on our own shoulders.
Agree on all your points, not just in this point, but the following ones, ie; precautions etc....it's the world we live in.
On top of that, you have the progression of society. Hell, we'd all be classed as 'sluts' if we were morphed back 100 years!
I would never do anything to compromise my safety or incite some sort of attention in an unsafe situation.
That being said, both times I have been sexually attacked were in so called 'safe' scenarios. The flipside is, you shouldn't live your life in fear also.
That's not to disagree, but to say, you can conduct yourself within the 'rules' and still be a target. Yep, you can increase those chances by being blase, but to live your whole life with a fear of what might happen, is also not a safe haven. In fact, I'd go so far as to say, I have been safer in far more perceived 'riskier' situations, than when I was in 'safer' situations.
