I suppose we could always go back to those awful 50s values of respecting women..and dressing modestly...

or.. even further back to the Biblical principles of:

3Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. 4Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. (1Peter 3:3)

and then...

Treat younger men as brothers, 2older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, with absolute purity. 1 Tim 5:2

Or.. we could just accept that the Islamic view

//Maulana Abul A'La Maududi has made a fine psychological distinction, however, between women looking at men and men looking at women. The man, he says, "...is by nature aggressive. If a thing appeals to him, he is urged from within to acquire it. On the other hand, the woman's nature is one of inhibition and escape.//

Yeahhh..let's play chasey :)

Methinks we need a good framework of values which are understood by all and reinforced by faith, education, socialisation and law.
At the moment, we seem to have conflicting poles of women who want the freedom to 'dress as they please' but 'not wanting to be sex objects' errrr... *confused look*

Much as I'd like it to... honey..it ain't gonna work.

Or as the feminists used to say at Murdoch University in the '80's:
"A woman should be free to walk naked past a building site and not be whistled or stared at."
It seems that their grip on reality is no firmer now than it was then.

Poor dear girlie's still can't work out, what they want, or don't want?

benk, yes, they dress to impress in the hope of getting Brad Pitt to stare at their tits, but if you, i or anybody else does, there is a problem. Wear a burqa.

severin, speaking as a man who has had, both gays & unattractive women perving on him. Why can't women just get over it like i do.

Either way it is clearly complimentary, or a massage of your ego. If you are not interested, just say thank you for the compliment but i am already in a relationship, straight, etc.

I am also with you on the working parent's thing. Why can't career women support a full time stay at home house husband? Men are naturally better at parenting than women anyway.

Pericles, its a little more complicated than that. Women & all Loony, Lefties have been spinning, http://www.whirlingdervishes.org/ so long they are confused about everything. "The Frankfurt School" http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8630135369495797236# has them all without a vision of anything, other than what they are against, which is everything, wholesome & normal.

shadow minister, a woman was also recently let off, for a cold blooded, premeditated murder.

proxy, spot on mate.

individual, now you are really getting to the heart of the matter. Many women want to have the "PC Thought Police" world when it suits them & not when it doesn't.

mikk, fancy yourself as toyboy to a female Banking CEO on $10 million PA? I could force myself to do it, any takers?

I'm staring at your messed up misogynist troll tribe drivel: why online sexual harassment continues...

So troll tribe I'm trying to imagine you all in the flesh, sitting at your separate computers, sweating with venom and lulz, gulping beer perhaps, convinced that what you write has the slightest shred of originality or intelligence. Thanks for proving (again, and again) how revolting and just plane stupid misogyny is.

lisbeth salander,
12yo Scotch actually.

Well its all good news girls. Every day you're getting older,
soon the wrinkles will set in, the boobs will sag and males won't
bother you anymore. So you won't need to spend all that money on
botox after all, as so many do now.
