This sounds like the mindset adopted by folks who accuse others of "victim blaming" (not saying that you accuse folks of this!) "Why should you have to avoid dark alleys? No one should be mugging you" "Why should she have to dress modestly just because men can't keep it in their pants?" An ideal world would be great, and it's awesome to fight for an ideal world. But until that world arrives, it's prudent to take steps to protect yourself. That's why you lock your car after parking it.

> Why should she have to dress modestly just because men can't keep it in their pants?" In the entire course of human history, has dressing modestly ever protected anyone from getting raped? Like a rapist is out to rape, and be like 'oh no, that's a modest woman, better find someone else'? Do women that fully conceal themselves for religious reasons not get raped? Like even the 'everyone should have a gun' narrative makes more sence than this.
