Throughout the episode Slade repeatedly invades Raven’s personal space and grabs her against her will, causing her visible pain each time. Also in “Birthmark', particularly the central conflict between Raven and Slade can be considered an allegory for rape/sexual assault.This does makes sense, however, as leotards tend to expose any underwear that is worn underneath, so they are usually omitted by the people who wear them. Going without either is typically seen as rather lewd behavior in most cultures. In the episode ' Birthmark', when Slade tears off Raven’s clothes, it is clearly shown that she does not wear a bra, or underwear of any kind underneath her leotard.This is further helped by the fact that the show arguably treats it as if she really was naked, with Raven covering her breasts and Robin’s fist conveniently placed over her groin area.
