clothing does play a role in harassment, nobody is saying it completely eliminates it. Anecdotes while very sad, do not reflect the reality.The issue I take with your stance is your order of priorities.
I don't disagree that a desexualised society would contribute to less sexual harassment, but the bottom line is that there needs to be more emphasis placed on harsher penalties on sexual assault before any part of the blame is put on immodestly dressed women.
It's nonsensical to even imply that immodestly dressed women share any part of the blame when I know a niqabi that was hit on in public and many of my young female friends can attest to similar incidents occurring.
I do agree harsher penalties must be used and both men and girls must be taught to lower their gaze and avoid free mixing. Segregating the genders a healthy amount is perfect and is a part of islam.
