Sexual Assault is something that could be prevented by all women. Too many women ask for it by either means of their dress, how intoxicated they are, their locations, or if you bought them something. All of these are qualifiers for consent, so if I am dressed provocatively, am drunk or high, am at a bar or nightclub, or if you bought me dinner then you are entitled to have sex with me. I want you to think of it as an open invitation. All of those things are me asking for it. If I refuse you even though I am following the code, then I am in the wrong. This is an open invitation, and I am asking for it.
Too many women nowadays feel like they have a right to dress promiscuously without knowing the consequences. If you dress in a sexy manner, then you are obviously asking for sex. If you deny it, then you are wrong. So with that being said, if you go out and have your tummy showing when a guy makes an advance on you, then you must accept it because the way your dressed implies an open invitation to what’s underneath the clothes. So when you go out tonight, keep in mind that what you’re wearing implies that you are totally okay with being groped, touched, and even raped. It is our responsibility as women to dress modestly, even if we feel better about ourselves with that crop top and skirt on, because if we don’t it’s our fault if something happens that we don’t want to. We should have never extended the invitation. If you don’t want to get raped, then cover yourself.
As soon as you take one sip of alcohol, you are telling every guy around you that you are consenting to have sex. Just like the “39% of high school males and the 18% of high school females” (Sexual Violence: Changing Viewpoints) will agree with that if you are under the influence, then rape is okay and justifiable. The recent current event will agree with this statement too. Brock Turner, a nineteen-year-old Stanford swimmer, only served three months in a low-security jail for raping an unconscious drunk girl even though two bystanders had to pull him off of her. Obviously, society is agreeing too that you should be responsible enough to handle your alcohol to not get raped even if you’re passed out drunk behind a garbage dumpster. Keep that in mind the next time you drink and wear a scandalous outfit. You must REALLY be asking for it. It is never the guy’s fault because he couldn’t resist accepting your open invitation.
If you are in a bar, then again you must be looking for sex. No female goes to a bar with her friends to have fun and have a couple of drinks. That would be absurd. Everyone knows that when you enter the bar, you become an option for whoever and whatever. If you do not want to have sex with someone, then stay out of the bars and nightclubs! Boys know that when girls are in these places that they’re only there to find a guy to hook up or have sex with. How crazy is the idea that when a group of girls goes downtown together that they’re not going to have fun and have a couple of drinks together? It would be so weird for girls to actually have fun with one another instead of looking for someone to have sex with when they’re in a bar.
Girls, if a guy buys you a drink, takes you to dinner, or spends any sort of money on you, then he has complete rights to have sex with you afterward. “39 percent of high school males and 12% of high school females” (Sexual Violence: Opposing Viewpoints) would agree with me that if a guy spends money on you then he has a right to your body afterward. Think of it like he’s buying the rights to your body. If you don’t want to have sex with him, then be a big girl and pay for your meal. Guys aren’t made of money, so if they spend money on you then you should give them something in return. If you’re in a bar, dressed promiscuously, drunk, and a guy buys you a drink, then this is like an extremely huge indicated to them that they’re going to be able to have sex with you tonight. I mean, if you spent thirty plus dollars on a man, wouldn’t you want something out of it too? Instead of being a gentleman because chivalry is dead, they must be rewards just like you were with a drink or dinner.
On a final note, if you do not want to get touched, groped, or raped, then you should do the opposite of these invitations. You should wear a burka, stay sober, stay home, and make sure to pay for everything on your own! As women we are not entitled to our own bodies, so don’t get raped! Guys, continue to look for the signs of a woman who wants sex. If you want it to be easy, just go to a bar and buy a woman dressed in a short skirt a drink. This gives you a full invitation to their bodies.
XOXO,
