It’s not legitimate to suggest that how anyone dresses justifies or explains unwelcome sexual advances made to them.


Perhaps. But it sure makes it more likely for a man to believe sexual advances are welcome.

Certainly not in this situation - Raisman was a 15 year old girl molested by a grown man.

And in general, it makes zero sense to believe that a woman who dresses provocatively is providing an open invitation for every man who happens to see her.

What is it revealing clothing reveals? Skin? Yes. Anything else?

When a careful reader reads interesting fiction, s/he looks for ideas beneath the surface, makes inferences. So, too, with the way a woman dresses? Possibly. Depends on the reader, I suppose.
