    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.

      (Just for clarity: the above is a very sarcastic observation about how even if you’re “dressed right” juries tend to blame women.)

        No such thing as dressed right.

        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.

          Ayup. There’s a reason why survivors often choose not to press charges.

          Get publicly humiliated … and still don’t get justice.

            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.

            That’s true.

            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.
