Women's clothes?

Like hell you didn't, you lying sack...it's all in the Show Content box, in black and white.

So saying that a person is less likely to be a victim if they minimize the stimuli for being a victim doesn't make since to you.

I'm just defending rapist huh?

Let me give you an example;

One night at approx. 2am my significant other and I went out to celebrate her birthday against my better judgement in New Orleans.

I being a native of sorts kinda knew better, but went anyway.

Upon arrival a predatory criminal noticed us. Long story short I was robbed, my woman was nearly dragged off and raped and I was shot at.

Now, if I had used the little judgement, instead of letting greed and pride cloud my judgement I could have  averted the crime by easily not putting myself in that situation in the first place.

I guess to you, I'm defending the dog that robbed, attempted to rape, and shot at me though, right?

Get your head out of your Ass.

Hey, I'm really sorry to hear that you had such a horrendous, traumatic experience.

But I'm sorry, it doesn't change the point.

It has already been repeatedly acknowledged in this thread,
that while rape is never the fault of anyone but the rapist,
that doesn't mean that people shouldn't exercise prudence,
and not put themselves into high-risk situations.

But what was more recently being argued,
was whether or not a woman's dress had anything to do with the risk,
....and I didn't see anywhere in your post that mentioned your wife's style of dress.

What was risky was the location and the timing...as far as I'm able to tell from your story.

So you may have just proved our point:

Even a demurely-dressed woman, in the company of her husband,
is at risk, depending on factors other than how she is dressed.
