When there are mad men save yourself either by barring them or keep distance so that they may not harm.........likewise, , , , , , , , when you dress in a way that incites other people's animal instincts, finally it is you who is endangered.......so, it is wise to be precautionary, when the government is ineffective to protect.........Government itself accepts that it is ineffective and hence take care..........For outside readers Dress Code prohibits girls from wearing dresses revealing our tempting body.
