Short Skirts vs. Loose Shirts

One of the most nonsensical things I have ever heard, in fact, something I have heard from both male and female mouths- is the slut-shaming argument. As defense for rape, it is a flimsy one, at that. "Defense for rape" doesn't even seem like it should be possible. Rape is rape, rape is a crime.
"Slut-shaming" is basically the practice of blaming the victim for "tempting" the rapist with what they wear. Ridiculous right?
No? Well, then let me explain their train of thought;

Some girls wear revealing outfits
Rapists only rape girls in reaviling outfits
Some girls are inevitably going to get raped

Well first, let me start with the fact that the second premise is completely untrue. People have a preconceived notion that only beautiful people attract the attention and desire of others, and therefore are the ones rapists most frequently target. This notion is not their fault, it has been created by the toxic media environment, but regardless- it is wrong. Oftentimes, rape occurs in interpersonal relationships in the capacity that it relates to power and control. Rape of strangers is statistically less likely than rape between associates/colleagues/family/spouses. Rapists will target anyone whom they view as weak- they view girls as opportunities- and are not picky as one is with consensual romantic partners.

That "some girls are inevitably going to get raped (if they are wearing revealing outfits)" seems to be the slogan of late. When girls report rape (which is a feat within itself- most rapes go unreported) the first question that an authority figures asks is "what where you wearing?" Is this question relevant to finding and prosecuting the perpetrator of the crime? No. This question is a silent blame for the victim. Women should be able to walk naked through the streets and know that their only confrontation will be an arrest for public nudity (although that is a whole other thing). We should be able to rely on the characters of men to control their violent urges, divorced from the fact that a woman may be "tempting" you. The victim never deserves rape.

An analogy, for example;

One day you wear a red shirt. As you do every day, you walk down the street. This time, when you bump into a commuter he punches you. You have bumped into commuter before, and they have never punched you before. You go to a police station.
"I was assaulted by a commuter!" you say.
"Well were you wearing that shirt?" they ask.
"Uh....yes" you answer in confusion.
"Well everyone knows that red is an angry colour. People that wear read and bump into others are obviously going to get punched. It's not his fault. You should know better not to wear that shirt next time."

You leave the station with a sense of betrayal. You were assaulted! How could you trust in the system after that? You feel disgust for the colour red. You never wear it again.
