Its just an opinion. You're right, I don't know the psychology. I don't know the mind of a rapist. I have no stats. But I do believe that there would be an increase. I think you all have too high a regard for the human mind.
But I don't think that looking to Europe is a defense of your argument. Especially if you're an American. There's almost no cultural comparisons between the European and Americans. Just because German women or Spanish women go topless without harm doesn't mean anything in North America. They're a totally different culture. We don't share that culture. A remnant might, but not the majority.
If it happened that toplessness was okayed in the courts, I don't think North America would change much. I just think the whole thing is a dumb argument made on behalf of radical feminists who don't have anything else legitimate to argue for. You don't need to go topless, and 95% of women never would if it was okayed. Those who argue for it are just bitter that "the man" has that hanging over the woman.
But you're right. I admit, I don't know the mind of a rapist. I concede that.
