[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why women need to wear revealing clothing in public but men survive fine without it? Would we be as open to men wearing revealing clothing in public? If they want to flaunt what they got, shouldn't we be more accepting to see male genitalia in public?[/quote]

Because we have historically been trained to please/entertain them. They get to be comfortable and functional (see flat shoes shoes), without painting their face and nails, curling their hair etc.

It is a waste of women’s time, and we should stop wearing costumes to entertain them. [/quote]

And historically we as women needed to do that to secure our financial well-being. But that hasn't been the case for a long time now. So surely you do understand that a vast majority of us dress any way we like because WE LIKE IT. I like to have long hair that is not gray. I like to have nicely manicured nails, I like to wear dresses. [/quote]

If you are courting sexual attention from strangers, don’t complain that they treat you like a sex object.

Existing in public isn’t “courting sexual attention from strangers”. People have foot fetishes— is everyone in sandals “courting sexual attention” from them?[/quote]

If you wear yoga pants that reveals your cameltoe, go braless or something low cut, you have to be aware that you are attracting sexual attention. Maybe it’s what you want - and that’s fine! personally I think all attractive women should dress like that… weirdly, not all do - it’s like some of them don’t want men to leer at them and objectify them.[/quote]

What you seem to not understand is that one attracts sexual attention simply by existing in public. Like I said— foot fetishes are well documented. My sandals are probably turning someone on. That person is probably leering and objectifying  me. So should I never go out in sandals because some dude likes feet? Why are my clothing choices supposed to be constrained by the poor behavior (leering) of men?[/quote]

there's a difference between saying, "there are countless weird men with bizarre fetishes so I can't stop living my life and wearing things that are comfortable to avoid being seen as too alluring for [insert bizarre fetish here]" and walking down a street with your vagina fully displayed in your yoga pants, or [b]wearing a top or bra that is specifically marketed as making you more sexually appealing.[/b]

Anyway, it all comes down to context. I don't think even the perviest of DCUM would say that a cameltoe or going braless at work is appropriate. Same way it's not appropriate for a male attorney to go to a hearing with no tie and the top six buttons undone, or his 5-inch running shorts. If you're capable of understanding that some contexts require different outfits, then you understand the idea behind people's belief that some clothes are too revealing to wear in public. You're just being difficult.[/quote]

I don’t think there are any bras marketed any other way than making people look and feel attractive. So your point seems to be that if advertising agencies and a creepy man think something is sexual, that should constrain my choices?[/quote]
