Actually, no, we don't. There are years and years of study and overwhelmingly repetitive professional opinion to back it up. People put themselves in everyday situations expecting to NOT be raped, NOT be beaten, and NOT be killed. When this crime happens, it is purely out of a feeling of power, not what the girl is wearing.

Nowdays "experts" are saying that people can't give consent when they are drunk. How many people get drunk and then get laid? A lot of rapes happen when two drunk people hook up. One decides that they don't want to go further, the other disagrees. I'm not blamining a victim but the victim could have avoided all of that by not putting themself in that situation where such an event could occur. There are certain situations that are more risky than other situations. Those situations should be avoided.

I think that the most valid point here is that the appearance of your SO reflects on you. If someone you do business with sees your wifes pussy at a club, it's a possibility that you may lose their business. That's just an example, but people treat you/think of you differently based on their perception of you and of your significant other. I'm sure that many elections have been lost just because of the image of the persons SO.

Very well said. There is a proper venue for any type of clothing an there is nothing wrong with someone asking their SO to change their clothes. It doesn't mean they have to, but if a relationship is going to work it shouldn't be a big deal unless it's something that happens all the time.
I'd look like shit most of the time if my wife didn't get me to dress up when we go to some places. I don't care about that sort of thing but I am capable of understanding that SHE does. Changing your clothes to make your SO is NOT a big deal.
How many relationships fail because one of the people has such a fragile sense of independence that every freaking request has to be a struggle of "you can't tell me what to do, I'm my own person!"
