DJ Soda said, “Maybe it’s obvious, but it took a lot of courage to say this. I don’t wear revealing clothes to ask people to touch me and look at my body.” I know what I can see, and I am satisfied with it and at the same time I am confident, so I wear the clothes I want to wear only for my own satisfaction, but they have no right to touch me or sexually harass me because I wear revealing clothes.”
