Your excuses are just like all the other rape apologists. Blaming the victim (women hold some responsibility for their own rape.) didn't begin with you. It's age old. I ask you to consider if it's "lust" or the woman is to blame, why are women in countries who enforce Burka attire raped? Not even safe in a BURKA? What must a woman do to prevent "lust"?

Since you rephrased your question, I'm not going to look for any opinions about "scientific" fact. All you need to excuse rape is to believe that somehow the woman is at fault. Hardly scientific level attitude.

Just because someone is cooking food doesn’t mean you’re entitled to eat it.
Just because a banker is counting money doesn’t mean you’re being given free money.
Just because a person is naked doesn’t mean you’re entitled to f*ck them.
You are not entitled to someone else’s body just because it’s exposed.
