A woman who was sexually assaulted by two people in the middle of the street in the Beyoğlu district of Istanbul made a scandalous comment about another woman. The woman said, "With what courage are you passing by there at that hour in those tights? Don't you know the place is full of stray dogs?" In response to the backlash, she replied, "Do you want to drown in your own sh*t?" ATTEMPTED RAPE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREETIn Istanbul's Beyoğlu, two individuals attempted to rape a young woman walking on the street. The individuals, who cornered the young woman against a wall and tried to kiss her, were later taken into custody. However, after giving statements, they were released as the young girl did not file a complaint, despite their extensive criminal records. Following public outrage, a new detention order was issued for the two suspects. "WITH WHAT COURAGE ARE YOU PASSING BY THERE IN THOSE TIGHTS?"A comment made by a female social media user regarding the incident caused an uproar. The woman stated, "With what courage are you passing by there at that hour in those tights? Don't you know the place is full of stray dogs?" "DROWN IN YOUR OWN SH*T"The individual responded to the backlash with insults. The woman said, "Enough already! You are not open to any opinion. You reject everything that is not from you. What exactly do you want? No one should look at events from a different perspective or criticize. Do you want to drown in your own sh*t?" "I MAY HAVE RESPONDED IN THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT"In her last post, she claimed that she might have expressed herself incorrectly and said: "Let's clarify the issue and close it. I did not say that it is normal for a girl to be harassed because she is wearing tights. What I meant is that one should be cautious when passing through an unsafe place at an unsafe time. I may have reacted in the heat of the moment. I may have expressed myself incorrectly."
