I read this article and it made me cry.

Anyone, and I mean ANYONE who implies that the way a woman, man, or child dresses justifies rape frightens me. The fact that a reputable newspaper is spreading this bullshit makes me absolute irate.

Recently, a police officer was doing a talk at a local university, and told a group of law students that the best way to avoid being raped was to not "dress like a slut."

His reprimand? He had to write an apology letter.

it's scary how much blame is placed on the victim in our society.
