Krista Ford's advice on how to prevent rapes: Stop dressing like whores

Rob Ford’s niece and former Lingerie Football player, Krista Ford, has generated a lot of negative attention online after dispensing advice to women on how not to get sexually assaulted.

Following a press conference by the Toronto Police Service to warn women about a string of recent sex assaults downtown, Ms. Ford tweeted:

“Stay alert, walk tall, carry mace, take self-defence classes & don’t dress like a whore. #DontBeAVictim #StreetSmart”

The comment caused a firestorm and she quickly tweet an apology on Thursday afternoon.

“I didn’t mean to cause such an alarm and I apologize if I did. I just want women to be safe.”

Not dressing "like a whore" is also pretty suspect advice for preventing sexual violence against women. In fact, a Toronto police officer drew widespread condemnations last year when he told a group of York University students that not dressing "like sluts" was one way to prevent sexual assault. That led to the "Slut Walk" in Toronto which spread to other cities.

This is coming from a woman who dressed in lingerie to get men to watch her play football. She has to be as stupid and insensitive as her high profile dad and uncle.
