The relationship between indecent dressing and rape

Many people (especially men) readily blame indecent dressing on
hearing about rape cases without getting full details of each case.
Are all rape victims to blame? Wait and see.

It is easy to blame an adult woman for dressing indecently, accepting
drinks and/or lifts, entering a man's room alone, asking for money or
gifts, begging for marks,etc. But what of babies who get raped?

A 6-week-old baby in South Africa was smuggled out of her mother's
room and raped by her maternal uncle while her mum and grandmum were
watching TV ( www.au.ibtimes.com/articles/525997/20131129/baby-infant-rape-child-abuse-south-africa.htm
) . Was she indecently dressed? Even if she was fully naked,what is in
her body at that age to arouse any sane man?


Not all rape victims were indecently dressed. Not all indecently
dressed women end up raped. Some celebrities like Maheeda and
Afrocandy arouse men online and go scotfree while the men descend on
defenceless children if they can't afford prostitutes or their
girlfriends refuse to enter their rooms alone before marriage.

Let's join hands to throw both the rapists and the indecently dressed
women behind bars and stop making excuses for either.
