True or False
False. It is offensive and wrong to suggest that by wearing a miniskirt or a low cut top, a woman is asking to be humiliated and hurt. Men often take off their shirts in warm weather, and dress how they want, without being told they are asking for violence. To suggest that girls or women dress in a way that ‘asks for it’, removes all the blame from the rapist and shifts it onto the woman.
