From one corner of the world, people are justifying gang rapes to teach the victim a lesson and to put her in her place. In some places, the complaint of rape is thrown out of the courts as she invariably cannot produce 4 able-bodied men to vouch to have witnessed the rape (as if they would stand idle and watch the whole fiasco, or maybe in the digital world reach for smartphones to record the melee). So, in the developed nations (or at least in places which try to or claim to be one), the last thing you would expect is to blame rapes squarely on ladies and the way they dress as if they were begging to be violated. The scene below are comments of netizen of the way some young girls were dressed on the city mass transit trains in Singapore.
Now, that the girls know what the generally thinking of an average Singapore is, what are they going to do about it? Are they going to say it is all null and void as the comments were written under the cloak of anonymity? Are they going to say that it is their human right to dress (or undress) as they please, so shoot me? Dresses do not cause rape, men do!
Are they still going to continue to simulate their idols on fictitious TV 'reality' shows? Are they going to risk the possible harm by some devious maniac and to appear on local newspapers with super big dark glasses and face partially covered by her hair to air her misadventure and garner sympathy from the ever sympathetic public?
