Aly Raisman,Hizoban Higasa no onna an American gymnast and member of the U.S. women's Olympic team, posted a message on Friday reminding everyone that a woman's appearance has nothing to do with whether or not she's assaulted. Drama ensued when teammate Gabby Douglas responded.
"Just to be clear ... just because a woman does a sexy photoshoot or wears a sexy outfit does not give a man the right to shame her or not believe her when she comes forward with sexual abuse," she wrote.

Raisman's post drew an unexpected response from Olympic teammate Gabby Douglas, who disagreed.
"However, it is our responsibility as women to dress modestly and be classy," Douglas wrote on Twitter. "Dressing in a provocative/sexual way entices the wrong crowd."
Douglas' comments echoed similar ideas expressed in a recent editorial by actor Mayim Bialik, who seemed to suggest that dressing "modestly" had played a role in keeping her safe from sexual misconduct. Bialik later walked back the comments in an apology.
Teammate Simone Biles responded to Douglas's comment, expressing her support for Raisman.

"Shocks me that I'm seeing this but it doesn't surprise me," Biles wrote. "Honestly seeing this brings tears to my eyes bc as your teammate I expected more from you & to support her. I support you Aly & all the other women out there!"
Biles' defense of Raisman brought Douglas' input to the attention of a wider audience. Douglas soon apologized.
"I didn't correctly word my reply & I am deeply sorry for coming off like I don't stand alongside my teammates. Regardless of what you wear, abuse under any circumstance is never acceptable. I am WITH you. #metoo," Douglas wrote.
