Mind-blowing
SYDNEY: Participants march for "SlutWalk" in Sydney on Monday, rallying for women to be able to wear whatever they like without fear of being sexually assaulted. SlutWalk began in Canada in April after a Toronto police official said "women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized."

According to Long Jye, a male student from SEGi College Penang states that sexual assault is not caused by sexy dressing and therefore he supports the SlutWalk protest. 

He said that men that rape women are usually looking for the weaker sex which is female who are vulnerable to be victimized. 

"Rape cases do not only happen to young sexy girls but also to children and to older women in their 80s which do not have any relation to the issue of revealing outfits," said Long Jye.

He also said that there should be a freedom of dressing because the motives of sexual assault has nothing to do with dressing instead it is all just in the mind set of the rapist.

On the other hand, according to Siti Fairus, a female student from SEGi College Penang said that a woman actually contributes to rape because of the way they dress.

"By wearing revealing clothes that seduces men, only provokes them and that will only lead to rape, " said Siti Fairus.

So due to the physical appearances of the girls these days on the streets, some men are seduced to rape them.

Likewise, according to Elizabeth Yeoh, a female student from SEGi College Penang also states that women who dress less only make it easier for men to rape them.

Elizabeth Yeoh said, "In other words, they are only asking for it and when women dressed provocatively, they are seen as their own fault."

The news reported that some women and men who protest dress in nothing more remarkable than jeans and T-shirts, while others wear provocative or revealing outfits to bring attention to "slut-shaming", or shaming women for being sexual, and the treatment of sexual assault victims.

The police officer made his comments in January to a group of York University students at a safety forum.

He later apologized, but his comments were publicized widely on Facebook and Twitter. They inspired a march in Toronto last month that drew more than 3,000 people, as well as SlutWalks since then in Dallas, Asheville, N.C., and Ottawa, Ontario.
