As I prepare to go down for the count with a raging migraine, I am in the midst of this little FB exchange. See the sexism alive and well in America.
Sam: 99% of people agree that attire, or lack thereof, is not an open invitation. However, wearing revealing and enticing clothes does signal that inquiries are encouraged. I guarantee you, not one single person changed their attitude towards women because of their "protest." It's not right, but if you dress like a whore, you'll be treated like one by the 1% of us that possess less than admirable morality. Dress a duck like a chicken, and everyone will assume it's a chicken.

Sam: Here we go. If accepting the fact that there is 1% of the population that is of lesser moral fiber, and dressing a certain way puts you at risk of being mistreated by them makes me "rapey," you have a huge problem with real world views. 99% of people wouldn't take someone else's shit, but we lock our stuff up in houses to hide and protect it from the 1%. Put all your stuff out in the yard, like you don't care about it, and sure as shit, the 1% will take it as free to have. Put your titties and ass out there, like you don't care, and sure as shit, 1% will take them as free to have. Again...it's not right, but that's the reality. Protesting it to the 99 percentile is fruitless, and the 1% isn't going to be swayed by the demonstration. The only thing left to do, is to stop advertising your goods to the 1%.

(101,311 posts)because that's what he's saying. Not that there is a real "dressed like a whore" look, but even if a man decided there was, then he'd be offering money for sex, not raping the woman.
