23. WTF? "provocative clothing is in fact provocative."

Thu Jul 27, 2017, 09:43 PM

Jul 2017

Provocative is what happens in your head, not the clothing.

It's ordinary human decency to see only what the wearer of said clothing, or no clothing at all, wants you to see. Even if it might be "Look at me! I'm hot!" That's where it stops.

Nobody wears clothing or no clothing asking to be groped or raped.

It's the difference between the people running around on the nude beach having fun playing in the surf, and the creepy people hiding in the bushes with the long lens cameras.

(Yes I have frolicked on nude beaches, and yes I used to be hot.)

For example, the disgusting orange turd in the white house is one of the creepy groping raping guys.
