So wait women want to dress like sluts but they should not be called sluts? Again, "avoid being victimized" doesn't in anyway mean "they have already said yes" you are assuming this.
I am not sure why you are assuming this way though.
The way I see it the policeman is saying that if women dress like sluts, then the rapists would think she has already said yes. He is not a rapist so I really don't understand the backlash at him?
And these slut women that are being demeaned by the society....what makes you think its mostly men? That's just ridiculous. If anything I would say men are the most kind towards them. You have obviously not seen some of the women criticize the way women flaunt their body as a sign of a bad influence/etc etc.

No, he is saying that "sluts" are generally considered to automatically say "yes".
And why should women be demeaned by society for wearing a certain type of clothing? What is a "slut"? Why is being a slut bad? Traditional society tries to repress women's sexuality, stigmatising women for having sexual desires. In the traditional view women should not enjoy, or even be interested in sex. Sex is something that they should use to make men happy, in other words sex should be used as a tool (to satisfy the husband, to concieve a child). A woman that is usually described as a "slut" is really no different regarding sex than a regular man, however traditional patriarchal society is afraid of allowing women to have sexual desires similar to men. Sex is about power, and it's something men should enjoy, while women should limit themselves to being mere objects for men's enjoyment. They musn't enjoy sex in the traditional view. Quite the contrary, the more frigid, the more respected.
Prettyy much all societies have been controlled by men, and men are the ones who created these social rules., mainly because they were afraid of women demanding equality with them. The reason why many women end up respecting these rules is simply because women are conditioned by society to think that way. Not all women are feminists. And men don't really care for slots generally, other than using them as sexual objects. When it comes to marriage (especially in more traditional cultures) they typically still go for the frigid women (despite this being very counter/productive, as they'll end up cheating).
