According to a recent survey, 20% of French people think that " If a woman's nipples can be seen under her clothes, it should constitute a mitigating circumstance for her attacker, in a case of sexual assault". Others are more "moderate". They simply ask what the victim was wearing when she got sexually assaulted and they believe a woman shouldn't walk alone at night.
