There is an issue when we start to speak of women who dress in "provocative" clothing. What is provocative?

Is a dress provocative?
Are ALL dresses provocative?
So, no women should wear dresses, ever? Then, all those women who do not wear dresses are subsenquently given a lot of crap because they are told they are not feminine enough. If you wear a skirt and heels, regardless of the length, someone will say you are dressing up to garner attention from men- therefore if you get unwanted attention, you have no right to complain.

If you wear red, you are trying to be sexual. If you giggle,you are flirting. If you want to look "nice" in any way at all, it must be to get attention from men, so any attention from any man must be acceptable and a woman is not allowed to complain about it.

...I mean, right?

....riiiight.

So when someone says "short skirt", how short?

Shorter than whatever girl you DON'T consider promiscuous, likely.
So there is no actual objectivity.

And if two women are wearing the exact same clothing, but one has a natural sway to her hips- she may be considered "dressing provocatively".

But I digress- most men are convinced heterosexual women dress only for them- because why on earth would a woman want to just dress up and look nice in general?

Regardless, if a person is over stepping boundaries by "looking a little too long", I feel one then has every right to speak up about it. And should.
Thanks for this!
