LITERALLY.

I could be walking around buck naked and that still isn't an invitation for a man to touch me in any way. Why do men think human rights just stop applying if you're wearing less clothes?

A naked man would never be "asking for" rape, he's just a man who is naked. They understand you can't just fucking invade a person's body because you find them attractive, but women aren't people to these kinds of men.

I went to Kuwait, during Ramadan, and got hit on by a guy while wearing my abaya. He followed me until I got into a cab. I gave up thinking modesty keeps you safe after that fiasco.

A woman will never get sexually assaulted until a rapist is present

Women in the Middle East wearing full niqabs are raped. It has NOTHING to do with what we’re wearing.

I dream of a world where I can look cute for myself, without having to deal with the disrespectful attention. I don’t care if a person of any gender looks at me for a few seconds, but I hate leering and comments.

Meanwhile, random men still try to talk to me while I am wearing a mask.😔

sorry for the related venting, but when i met one of my boyfriend’s friends for the first time he kept staring straight into my eyes then right at my cleavage and then briefly back to my partner before going back to my cleavage WHILE HE WAS TALKING.

one of the most uncomfortable experiences i’ve ever felt

Rape was a thing during the Victorian era.

I was a fat little 12 year old and an old man still had the audacity to stare at my ass when I bent over because there was a gap between my jeans and t shirt. And my father had the audacity to tell ME off for it. Like why the fuck aren't you punching the pervert creeping on your child in the face?!

I was 14 and at the grocery store with my dad in jeans and a tee. My shirt said "I tried being good, but I got bored". It wasn't until an older (70+) man hobbled past me telling me that I must be such a naughty girl that I realised it could be taken other ways than as an angsty teen rebelling. Creeps gonna creep no matter what.

”What was she wearing?” is the stupidest argument ever. Somehow naked women in nudist saunas or beaches don't just all get raped constantly. How would you explain that? Rape only happens because of rapists, everything else doesn't matter, because if he had any self control, this wouldn't have happened. End of story.

unrelated, but the woman in the picture is GORGEOUS

YUP. My oldest brother has a habit of commenting on outfits that are imo totally normal ("that dress is pretty short" when it's knee-length, or "ugh, gross, are you posting thirst traps now?" when I was wearing a band's tank top to a show once that I guess showed a little clevage, etc.) and it made me feel so uncomfortable that I stopped wearing said outfits for a while and deleted any photos of me in them from social media to be "safe". 🙄

In his case, I think it's less that he's being an outright creep towards me and more that he infantalises me because I'm the youngest by 10+ years. I think he sees it as him ~protecting me~ from being objectified by less than stellar guys (many of which he CHOOSES to be friends with), but it's still fucked up. Maybe if guys like him put mote effort into policing their creepy friends instead of shaming their little sisters for what we wear, we wouldn't need "protecting" in the first place!
