It’s a sad state of affairs, but that’s how it is. As a veloci er… regular human being that happens to be male, I can see why this happens. And one of the main problems we still have as a society is that when something happens to a woman, one of the things many assholes ask first is: “how was she dressed?” As if somehow it was the woman’s fault because the poor man couldn’t help it.
And the stupidest part of it is that this status quo hurts men too. Because they don’t realize that perpetuating it makes women afraid of men (with a valid reason).
Hell, right now, if a man approaches a woman, her first reaction is fear and distrust, and it’s justified because they learned that it’s better to fear a man and be safe than to trust him and be sorry later. And this is hurting men too because makes it harder to find someone even if you are a sane (as in not a potential rapist) individual. Helping to perpetuate this status quo is basically shooting ourselves in the foot, repeatedly.
PS: just in case it wasn’t clear, I speak as a male human being. 👀

In all seriousness, yeah, we (women) all know that’s how it is. The image is critiquing the status quo though, because it’s fluffing stupid.
