However, I would prefer my hypothetical daughter to dress as is appropriate for the situation. On the beach that is probably more like the first picture and to a house party, more like the second. Regardless of how she dresses, however, it is not her fault if someone rapes her, nor is she to blame in any way.

Hey, I believe you can dress anyway you want and walk around completely unmolested. However, the world we live in has some pretty dark people in it and I would prefer to have my daughter to not attract any kind of attention that the former picture would bring. When alcohol is involved people make stupid assumptions and decisions which can then lead to terrible actions. Acting smart and making smart decisions is what is most important.
