Reply #185: You can be dressed in a burqa and raped.

You can be dressed in high heels and raped.

A person getting sexually assaulted is based on if the victim can be victimized. A woman with no peripheral vision, with almost a bag over her head, and dressed in a tent can be easily dragged down and overpowered. There's a lot of cloth there to grab. A woman in high heels can't run effectively, she's easily grabbed and dragged down and overpowered. Their clothing is "important" only in that it may be a factor in how it facilitates the crime.

And no, in "many cases" women/victims/survivors are NOT chosen due to their attractiveness. They are chosen because they are easy prey. In fact, virtually all of them are chosen because they can be controlled and the perp has the power.

The OP is in no way about whether 8 year olds are attractive to pedophiles because of the way they are dressed. Quite the opposite actually. Nobody is or should be sexually attracted to a child unless they are deviant.
