My roommate came across an article today that completely appled me. The first thing out of my mouth: Did I really just read this? An article on times online said “One in seven people believe it is acceptable in some circumstances for a man to hit his wife or girlfriend if she is dressed in ‘sexy or revealing clothes in public’”.
Yep you read that right, people think it’s ok for a man to hit woman. Seriously?!
The article goes on to say that women who wear sexy or revealing clothes should be held partly responsible for being raped. For being RAPED! An act that is forced upon them. Everyone is entitled to give or withhold consent to having sex with someone, regardless of what they are wearing.
Lets go and blame the victims for what they cannot control. Let the rapists walk away scott free and blame the people who were forced to do something they did not want to do.
Basically what the pulic is saying is that it is ok to commit violence against women.
