Showing an attractive body off more with more revealing clothing is attractive to a lot of men, both good and bad men, both rapists and non-rapists I would think.
Unless you have evidence that rapists are not attracted to revealing clothing as much as a lot of men?
Quote:I've never heard of rapists having different fashion tastes than normal men.Me either. Exactly.
Quote: Many men find sleazy clothing to be distasteful and cheap.Yes, and many don't. Or many say they find them distasteful but they are actually still attracted I would think.
There are some heterosexual men that find women that look more masculine than average and that don't reveal their body at all attractive - I doubt that's the majority though.
Quote: Those ones often find a nicely dressed, more modest manner of clothing to be far more attractive.Yes there are plenty who do. But I think there's a reason why so many women who are "objectified" are seen to be having very revealing clothing. Because there are an awful lot of men who are attracted to the female body and like it when more of it is on show.
Quote: So, the percentage of how many men find which different types of clothing arousing would also have to come into play if trying to analyse any possible correlation between clothing style and rape vulnerability.
Yes. So seen as we can't know that for sure I don't see how we can claim that rapists aren't attracted to what's on show either. Rape may indeed be about power, but I don't know of any evidence that rapists aren't attracted to the same sorts of visual stimuli.
