Well, I do agree that people should have the right to wear what they want, but I also agree that we live in the 'real world' and that we have to keep ourselves safe in every way we can because rape does and always will happen.

Keeping yourself safe, clothes-wise, is a kind of contentious issue though. From previous rape-related N&D threads it seems that it's just as risky to wear a hoodie and jeans as it is to wear a boob-tube and mini-skirt.

But, the point is, that yes, people should be able to wear whatever they like, but realistically, people need to take some responsibility for their own selves and observe safety (walking with other people, walk down well-lit streets etc.) to minimise the risk of being raped.
