Stopped reading right here. I didn't suggest she was asking to be raped. Nor was she raped. Nor was any danger of rape present. Or implied. Or at all relevant to the conversation.

The fact of the matter is that she does have the ability to not wear form-fitting clothing, and she does have the ability to not intentionally spend most of the time around 125th and 7th. Furthermore, I get "harassed" by the homeless whenever I go downtown. If I'm walking around dressed well, I can't act shocked that a hobo sees me as someone who will potentially have money to give. If it's that big of a problem, maybe I should take steps to not encourage the behavior (or better yet avoid the situation all-together).

And I will stress for a third time that she wasn't "walking around Manhattan". She was very sneaky in starting the video in the financial district, then immediately cutting away. She then walks around Harlem until it gets dark (convenient), then heads to Times Square where street peddlers and hobos congregate to try to get money from well-off people. She knew she could get attention from a similar crowd while maintaining safety by being in a crowded public area. I'd love to see how uneventful this video would be if she walked around Soho or the village.
