But do we know how the victims were dressed? Women shouldn't have to hide their faces in order not to be raped, this was beyond men being "tempted" by immodest clothing, it was a violent attack.
I'm not saying that the victim was immodestly dressed, I'm talking about immodest clothing, in general. The increased number of rapes in today's world can't be blamed on anything but the acceptance and encouragement of obscenity. You can blame the culprits all you want, and they surely do deserve the blame in all cases, but they are motivated to rape because of constant exposure to lewd content. You can't deny that rapes in 2012 must be a lot more than what they were 60 years ago, or even 30 years ago. The numbers were so less back then because women would be dressed modestly, and there would be no provocation for any man to take up such an action. In most cases, the victims pay the price of someone else's action. Porn is more easily available than water in our world, and we have these so called glamorous women exposing every inch of their body on the grandest of hoardings. They are the ones that incite a man, and an innocent victim suffers because of it.
Such an extensive availability of arousing stuff turns every man on, and some of them go as far as rapes to quench their lust. We need to nip such things in the bud, instead of thinking of what punishment be given to such culprits. Prevention is better than cure, and bringing even the harshest punishment will only be a cure. It will only be a reactive step, not a proactive one. Plus, there are thousands of cases stuck in court rooms today. Hardly are the convicts ever justly punished for their crimes, and most of the times they get away with it. It is a lot like legalizing alcohol, but expecting no one to drink and drive. In fact, it is the perfect example where no law has been able to prevent people from drunken driving. The fines have been increased, even jail time added to the punishment, but you can still find cases of drunken driving on a daily basis.
The inspiration for lewd clothing comes from celebrities, but people fail to realize that those creatures are paid to wear that stuff. They wear those things in exchange for a price, and wherever they go they have security surrounding them. You don't have security protecting you all the time, neither are you getting paid for wearing those kind of clothes. The only thing you are accomplishing is what you set out to accomplish and that is, make people desire you. You are desired very well, the result of it may not affect you, but it isn't making a good contribution to the society either.
The appeal for modest clothing has been tagged "primitive" and "backward" thinking on online forums, but why don't people realize that it was the primitive and backward days when women were much safer than they are today. Mankind is not inherently evil, it is just the product of its environment. A lewd environment will obviously create indecent citizens.
