Rape

I hate it when I see someone talking about a rape victim's clothes instead the of the person that raped her.  I personally think that the clothes a woman wears doesn't mean she's wanting to be raped.  Just because a person is wanting attention, doesn't mean she's wanting to be raped.  Now, I've never been one to wear something that show off anything, but I'm as big as a cow.  Nobody would want to see that.  I know I wouldn't.  When I read about someone being raped, I never think, "What was she wearing?".  Never.  Because it shouldn't matter what she's wearing.  For those that think rape is based on what a woman wears, you're an idiot.  Rape will happen even the victim is wearing overalls.  If someone's got it in there mind to force themselves on another, the clothes the person's wearing isn't what sets them off.  It's already in their head. 
The victim has already been through a lot, without people saying she asked for it by the clothes she was wearing.  She had no choice in the matter.  Instead of telling women they need to wear this or that to avoid being raped, we need to be teaching that rape is something that shouldn't be done!  It's not the victim's fault she was raped.  The fault lies with the attacker.  He was the one that forced himself onto her.  He was the one the committed the crime.  He's the one that should be punished, not the victim.  Instead of blaming the victim, we need to be trying to help them.  There's a lot of mental pain to go along with the physical pain.  If it was a member of your family, would you tell her that she was raped because of the clothes she was wearing, or would try to get her attacker behind bars?  What if  it was your daughter, mother, sister, or aunt?  Would you still be so blind?
