most get sympathy, but you still have some who think that a person "deserves it" if she is skimpily dressed or drunk etc. which i find ridiculous. though i agree that someone is more likely to target a provocative dressed women as opposed to a nun (unless they have some kind of fetish) because that victim is more likely to catch ones eye it DOESN'T make it right. there is no excuse for raping someone, and lord knows we have all seen many women dressed in a very sexy manner but none of us are so uncontrollable that we pounce on every women we see wearing a miniskirt or who smiles in our direction. people should not have to deny themselves the right to wear what they want in fear that it might possibly attract a sexual deviant. the blame rests on the perpetrator in this case, not the victim IMO. he or she is the one at fault here, not the victim.
