I just immediately flash back to a standup routine I saw a long time ago. It was a guy talking about the song "Cop Killer", and how a lot of people decried it for promoting violence against police officers. He said, I'm paraphrasing, "Are there really people out there thinking, 'Man I would love to blast a damn cop! If only I had the proper musical accompaniment!"
In my view, people committing these acts are not somehow triggered by provocative clothing (whatever that even means). I have difficulty believing that there are many instances of sexual assault where the assault wouldn't have happened if the victim was dressed less sexy.

Um, if anyone avoids contact with the male gender as a whole on the basis that they fear sexual assault, they should be admonished. That's completely insane.
