Please, read the following:
"There was an article about an 11-year-old girl who was gang-raped in Texas by 18 young men because she was dressed like a 21-year-old prostitute. And her parents let her attend school like that. And I think it’s incumbent upon us to create some areas where students can be safe in school and show up in proper attire so what happened in Texas doesn’t happen to our students." —Florida state representative Kathleen Passidomo, explaining why she supports a bill that would make schools adopt age-appropriate dress codes.
Walk through it with me... an 11 year old was gang raped BECAUSE she was dressed like a prostitute?!?!? I'm sure if we all just slipped on burkas no one would ever rape anyone ever again. Just look how well it's going for Afghanistan. I mean, it's obviously that little girl's fault - she was just asking for it, right?
And this is spoken by a WOMAN who is running for office. Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME?
I'll say it again, for those just joining. Rape has nothing to do with sex, it's about violence and power. Men don't rape because they're 'turned on' they rape because they want to dominate, humiliate, and ruin. And, just in case it's not already crystal clear-- blaming the rape victim/survivor is so 90's.
Let's enlighten, shall we?
