‘What sort of underwear, exactly, should women be wearing to be taken seriously in court?’

I honestly don’t understand how we as a society continue to allow this kind of sexist victim blaming and shaming to exist. Do we blame the guy who flashed around a wad of $100 bills for being robbed? OK…It may not be the smartest thing to do, but it still doesn’t make it his fault when some mugger decides to rob his stupid ass.
How she dresses doesn’t make it OK to assault her. It doesn’t mean “she asked for it”. It just means that some shithead saw something that didn’t belong to him and tried to take it…because he thought he could get away with it.
That’s on us all. By our tacit consent, we’re all to blame. Change is hard, but necessary.
