I understand what you're saying. But, look, can clothing actually be an invitation to rape?
It can't, can it, because that would imply some women want to be raped and are, literally, asking for it. If they were weird enough to want to be raped, they could just ask around; no reason why they'd need to dress in a certain manner.
Everybody knows women in skimpy clothes are not asking to be raped.. Rapists know it. They don't really perceive styles of clothing as invitations!
Some of them say they do. They're lying. Rapists rape out of violent sexual entitlement, hatred, a variety of unpleasant motives which all come down to misogyny. They talk of women "asking for it" because rapists have learned this is a good way to blame their victims for their crimes. Misogynists make women responsible for every uncomfortable feeling they have, every unpleasant thing that happens to them and every nasty thing they do.
Misogynists who "perceive certain styles of clothing as an invitation" are lying. They know the clothes aren't an invitation to assault. The clothes might well be an invitation to look, and perhaps to flirt.
With apologies for seeming objectification, it's a bit like, say, advertising a job or goods for sale. You want people to be attracted, interested, to talk to you about it. Doesn't mean everyone who fancies it has a right to it. Displaying cakes on the bakery counter doesn't mean "help yourself". If anybody tries to claim they thought it did, they're lying. Obviously.
