Question: If you had a daughter and she was going to go out to a party with guys drinking would you let her go out looking like a slut?

Answer: If the next generation has sons that are as repulsed by rape as they should be then we won’t need to worry about our daughter’s clothing.  Hell, if we just make our generation shift the blame from the victim to the perpetrator and recognize rape as an act of violence rather than a natural hazard then we won’t even notice clothing.  In fact the only way that I’ll need to worry about my daughter’s clothing is if society stays this fucked.  I’d probably end up doing something incredibly violent to somebody if anything ever happened to one of my loved ones and the system failed them.

So the question becomes: If you had a son and he was going out to a party with girls drinking, would you let him go knowing that one of them could be my daughter and if he ever touched her without her consent I’d kill you?

You focus on raising a son that you can confidently send to a party even if you think that you will die if he inappropriately touches a woman and I’ll focus on raising a daughter full stop.]

emphasis mine.
