I’ve written about this many times, and others have too. Repeating the same point over and over isn’t enjoyable. If you don’t have the patience to read, making pointless comments and twisting the issue is wrong. Please read the articles linked here. Search in English on Google: “Is clothing responsible for rape?” Then read reports published in scientific journals. But you must read with an open mind—don’t approach it with a pre-decided conclusion. Even if the results of scientific research go against your beliefs, you must accept them as valid.

Facebook is full of perverts, and it wouldn’t be surprising if one or two of them turned out to be rapists.
