Now the story behind this is that on the blog someone made a comment and I quote, "... its kind of like putting a meat suit on and telling a shark not to eat you"
I love how STFU replies to this guy (or I assume it's a guy) and I'm stealing their quote again "
"We (men) are not fucking sharks!
We are not rabid animals living off of pure instinct
We are capable of rational thinking and understanding.
Just because someone is cooking food doesn’t mean you’re entitled to eat it.
Just because a banker is counting money doesn’t mean you’re being given free money.
Just because a person is naked doesn’t mean you’re entitled to fuck them.
You are not entitled to someone else’s body just because it’s exposed.
What is so fucking difficult about this concept?"
This photo and story has been shared on facebook over 10,000 times! I love that people are getting the word out there that no matter what a person looks like or what they are wearing that they aren't "asking for it." It doesn't matter weather they are a hooker or a librarian if they say "no" it means NO. I love how stfu worded their reply telling everyone that it's just like everything else in life, you're not entitled to it even if it's right in front of you.
I've always lived wearing what I want to wear, I love the human body and think it's beautiful so why not show it off? I think it's completely natural to want to be naked and to be naked because that's how we were put on the Earth and how we're born. We began to cover ourselves for protection against natural elements like the sun, bugs, the cold, not so that we're conseled from other people taking what they want from our bodies.
I know people who think you should dress very modestly because if you don't then you're "asking for it" or as some others say your bringing out temtation in men. I'm sorry but this is not true! I know I've been there. Yes when you have on less clothing it's easier for men to want you and find you attractive but a man should be able to controll his wants, and as stfu said "We are not rabid animals living off of pure instinct" Yes when I wear less clothing I'm wearing it because I think my body looks great and that it's beautiful, the way God (or whoever/whatever you want to believe in) created me, and that it's fine for other people to look and like "the view" but it's not saying "I want to have sex with everyone" or giving anyone permission to touch me. As for the part that dressing modestly will save you from rape, or others will be too tempted, like I said I've been there and it's not true. In almost all cases rape, and sexual assault isn't about sex it's about power over another person. I've lived in a house where I was forced to undress and be touched against my will until I was almost 17. It didn't matter weather it was the dead of winter when I dressed warm or if it was summer and I had on a 2 piece bathing suit, it didn't stop him from touching me or having me undress. I disagree with anyone who says that less clothing is more provoking...or that your asking for it. No matter how much you cover up you can still be a victem.
No one "asks" for harm to come to them. It doesn't matter how they are dressed. I think that people should have self control!! Men may find a woman attractive but it does not mean they have the right to touch them in any way.
