I’d love to see a fat, hairy dude much braver than I just walk down a busy urban street in booty shorts and maybe one of those like, half top half bra things women wear at the gym sometimes and record the responses for posterity.

I’m not saying this to say that anyone wearing anything deserves ‘trouble’- this is fucking ridiculous and appalling - but depending on what you wear you CAN be asking for attention. It’s why designer clothing exists.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with dressing for attention. Be outrageous, be a queen, be flamboyant. You should be able to do this without fear of your safety.

But attention - that cuts both ways. It’s just that men rarely, if ever, dress in a way that attracts attention.

Also, like, guys, come on. Women live in constant fear of sexual assault. While I do think the internet exaggerates this a little bit, if you LISTEN to literally any woman they’ll school you on their Lived experiences anround this shit annd how fucking real it is. Even without that amplification this is a real fucking thing women deal with from the time they’re like twelve fucking years old. No woman, anywhere, should ever expect any kind of trouble regardless of what she’s wearing, and it’s fucking appalling so that many of them need to do mental calculus on what they have to wear when they go somewhere on the likelihood of being fucking raped.
