But that's the mindset some people have. I wasn't married and popping out kids and spending my time in the kitchen cooking and cleaning for my husband while wearing a nice conservative skirt and blouse and pearls, and I had the nerve to go to college and develop my brain and pursue a career in something I was dang good at, and did I mention I used to play hockey of all sports? And I stopped going to church.
Obviously, on some level I deserved to be attacked, because everyone knows that rape doesn't happen to Nice Girls ™. If we were just Nice Girls ™ we would never have to fear being raped.
We should just take some responsibility for ourselves and then the menfolks wouldn't have to put us in our place. After all, as the good book says:
1 Timothy 2:9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
2:10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
2:11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence
1 Peter 3:1 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;
3:2 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.
3:3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
3:4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
3:5 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:
3:6 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
3:7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
