Unless it reaches a courtroom. Then, if you were wearing a microdress, the jury will more likely than not acquit. Whereas if you were wearing something conservative there’s a small, but measurable chance they will convict.
Can’t say I would trust an all female jury to not be biased and blame the victim. If the victim’s apparel wasn’t a factor, they will find another factor.
Publicly humiliated, no justice, then the fact that the perpetrator got away is used as “proof” that you are a conniving woman that wanted revenge on a man.
It can happen at work too. Sexual relationship then female gets fired. Or female gets sexually harassed and she gets fired for standing up for herself. It is so common.
It really doesn’t matter what you wear.

No such thing as dressed right.

Ayup. There’s a reason why survivors often choose not to press charges.
Get publicly humiliated … and still don’t get justice.

That’s true.
