If you say that a woman wearing revealing clothes deserves to be sexually assaulted, you are saying that a woman’s body is inherently deserving of rape. That women are inherently deserving of rape. That women have to make sure their body is hidden in order not to deserve to be raped. That is misogyny in its purest form.

.. so generally i kind of prefer to change things to all lower-case on here, but the cover-yourself-up-don’t-wear-certain-clothes argument is something i’ve been told by a few people who are close to me and who i’d expect to know better. some of them also refer to themselves as feminists. it is horrifying to me that someone thinks i can be violated based on what i’m wearing.

and christ, please don’t tell me it’s because you’re looking out for me. i do not have the time, energy, or patience to explain how much you are Not Helping Me.
