Crotchless panties and sexual assault

It is this misogyny and objectification of women's bodies that makes rape and other forms of sexual abuse not only possible, but likely. Rather than questioning this hatred and objectification, many of women help to perpetuate it. It became very clear to me that most people define sexual assault as a violation of boundaries, and not as non-consensual sex. I was blamed for not having put up a boundary at some point, somehow. The perpetrator was not blamed for taking liberties with my body without my positive cooperation, or even my awareness.

We spend a fortune on Crotchless panties like push-up bras and tummy-flatteners, designed to conform to the objectified view of what women's bodies are supposed to look like.

We spend another fortune on Crotchless panties designed for its arousal potential: high cut, "barely there," flimsy or binding undergarments are chosen over their comfortable, fully covering counterparts. Our partners are only shocked when we don our " Crotchless panties " because usually are more conscientious about wearing something "attractive."

The point isn't that in order to prevent rape we should all switch to Crotchless panties. Instead, it's important to be conscious of what you're doing and why. And it's important to make sure that your partner treats you as a whole being rather than as an object, regardless of what you choose to wear.
