OP said "it puts a woman at risk". He never said it is a cause.

In life, there are things one does to REDUCE THE RISK of falling into difficult situations. Just like has been said here, having a security gate at your house reduces the risk of being robbed. Not having a security gate is not a cause of being robbed but you can be sure that if you left your car where there was no security gate and you were robbed, you would be told that it was your fault.

While indecent dressing should not be looked at as a cause (not even THE cause), there is no denying that just like avoiding dangerous neighborhoods, just like avoiding drug use and drug users, and just like avoiding known rapists, decent dressing is another way of reducing the risks of being raped, molested and or harassed.

IT IS NOT A CAUSE OR THE CAUSE OF RAPE. It is an action taken that helps to reduce the risks of being raped.

ImaIma1:


Your ignorance i suppose.

Or what do you have to say when a 10 month old child is raped? She dressed provocatively?

bigmic111:


you agreed indecent dressing plays are role at least.

why there is an increase of rape in Islamic countries is because of easy access to pornography and worst of all hypocrisy on the part of those that practice Islam there.

it is wrong to view pornography based on their religion but they still go ahead and do it in secret. now they get addicted to it and suddenly have the urge to try it out. etc

point is "indecency" is still the major root cause. every dysfunctional behavior in society have their pathways that have been studied but in this age and time, nobody wants to agree their "indecency" can serve as a trigger for rape either for themselves or for another poor victim(be it a baby)

liberalchick:
Like most crimes, for a rape to occur there has to be motive, opportunity and access. It has less to do with ‘indecent’ dressing or porn. If a rapist meets a woman dressed in a burka were he has opportunity and access he will rape her. Motives for rape varies, some get off from the power they wield over their victims, some hate and want to punish/humiliate their victims for rejecting their advances etc.

If porn and indecent dressing was a huge motivator why then do rapes happen in sharia countries, where the women are forced to cover up and little to no access to porn.

ImaIma1:
What about the 18 month old that gets raped or the 5 year old girl? Was it their dressing?

A rapist would rape a woman wearing a frock. The dressing doesn't count

Fountainofyouth:
Dude, saying what ladies wear cause some rape cases is one of the dumbest shìt I've ever heard, change your topic and mind yourself.

Fountainofyouth:



Of all the things you said, you still arrived at "except for a few" so the ones that take precautions and still get raped what's the reason? And the other ones that still open up their body and NEVER EVER get raped what is the reason?

SIRTee15:
People still ranting on indecent dressing have simply got their heads buried in the sand...
Or I may rightly assume they are male chauvinist with a mix of misogynist, who believe in the entrenchment of a male dominated society where voice of women are obliterated...
So the men can continue to inflict misfortune on women and still turn around and blame the women....

In Nigeria....
It's the woman's fault if she's raped....
It's her fault if she's sexually assaulted at work...
It's her fault for getting pregnant outside of marriage not minding it takes 2 to make a baby....
It's her fault if she fails to bear children for her husband...
It's her fault if the husband engages in extramarital infidelity....
It's her fault if she's a victim of domestic abuse...
It's her fault for a failed marriage n being a single mother....
It's her fault for having children she can't cater for....
It's the fault of a female student, if a randy lecturer demand for sex in exchange for grade....
It's always the woman's fault....
The men are never to be blamed for any ills in the society....
When it's a known fact that men build civilisation, not women....men build nations....

Ok, leave the stage and let women lead if u guys want the female folks take the blame.....

Mba....The African man wants to be in charge, but doesn't want to take responsibility.....
And we can see how well men are leading African nations....
Bunch of primitive men with backward thinking, blaming women for rape in the 21st century....

valentinos22:


lame! lame exceptions are what you are trying to put up. luck{probability of not been raped} is more on the side of the female who dresses decently compared to the other.

ImaIma1:


They are just giving the rapists reasons and justifications for their actions.

But they shy away from answering directly when you ask about babies, toddlers that are raped.

A rapist doesn't need a reason to rape. He rapes because that is what he does.

SIRTee15:
If indecent dressing is a cause or risk factor for rape....
Then why are small children a victim of Rape...a question none of the indecent dressing crusaders are yet to answer....
Middle East is a fiercely conservative society when it comes to women dressing....
Yet Arab men are notorious for raping their maids and even killing the victims....
Besides if u agree to pay the bride price of the victim, the court will let u go....
In India, most rape happen in rural regions where fashion exposure is minimal and dress sense is basic....
Yet their men rape women and hang the victims afterwards....
Even in church, where modesty is preached and emphasised....
Catholic fathers abuse boys and evangelical preachers are known to take advantage of vulnerable women....

The manner u guyz talk about provocative dressing, one would expect developed western nations to be the headquarters of Rape.....
Yet most rape are perpuated in underdeveloped countries despite being under reported....
The only exception is sweden which was sane until they accepted massive refugees from 3rd world countries and boom the rape statistics went up....

Numerous studies has shown that Rape culture is entrenched and perpetuated in male dominated society where women lack the voice to speak....
The men determine what's best for their women including who's to blame for rape.....
And of course in a patriarchal system, it will always be the women....

Try not to be ignorant sister.
He said indecent dressing are one of the causes.
He's not trying to justify rape here.
