Aww I was actually enjoying this :P I was also also doing it to actually understand why you have such an aversion to showing skin :)

But I guess if you don't wanna discuss this anymore, fair enough.

Many studies have been conducted so far on the psychology of rape and there's no evidence to prove that clothes play any factor in 'attracting' rapists. Most of the rape victims across the world (i.e. above 90%) were, what one may call, moderately dressed and what's more surprising is most of the rapists, when interrogated later, themselves don't remember what their victim wore. In over three-fourth of all rape cases the attacker was someone the victim knew well, more than often a member of house. Further if seductive clothes are a factor, one is at loss to explain the rape epidemic in Egypt or Sudan or Lebanon - or the gang rapes of dalits and tribals in India, or the rape of minors and old women in the most conservative part of the world..The psychology of rape is that of violence, revenge, control, punishment and ego. It has little to do with lust or sexual attraction.


I won't call it offensive, but its definitely saddening how religious and cultural indoctrination has left so many women with a permanent Stockholm syndrome to an extent that they willfully lend a shoulder to the same patriarchal values (and defend its legitimacy) that subjugate their own kind. Women in conservative societies grow up to see their bodies as an object of honour for their family and an object of temptation for the rest of the world. Consecutively, thanks to their upbringing, in the wake of any sexual assault, they believe that they must have done something to bring it upon themselves or in some way enticed their rapist, and therefore they share a part - if not whole - of the responsibility. This is also known as Battered wife's syndrome and this is a reason, among others, why a vast majority of the rape cases go unreported in these societies..
