Fractelle,

'attitudes that place responsibility on women for causing lust , are inherently anti-woman'

I think you may be confusing the issue. Most men (apart from the religious) merely want women to take responsibility for their actions.

If I, as a man, decided to wander around the office in a midriff shirt, or a fishnet vest, I would accept people will look at my exposed toreso. Yet I find so many women wear low cut tops and belt-skirts, and complain about men looking at their exposed flesh.

As a man, when a woman leans over your desk with an extremely low cut top, virtually shoving her breasts in your face, if you look you're guilty of sexual harassment these days. I think if anything the guy is being sexually harassed.

I know what we can do gentlemen, so it isn't a problem for you:.....

Let's put women in a full flowing gown with only eye holes.

BRILLIANT!

You'd have nothing to complain about then..................;-or would you?

That's brilliant, I wonder why no-one has ever thought of it before, men's reaction to women is the woman's fault......hang-on a doggone minute, I think someone already has. Well that's the collective unconscious for you.

And next season the new black is:

It'll be a hit, pole-dancing will never be the same.

What a hoot Fractelle!!

Eye holes?!

Fractelle you saucy Jezebel, how dare you? Holes for eyes?

Honestly, there's a mesh alternative so those scantily clad ocular organs aren't put on display where they're bound to get men all steamed up.

"If I, as a man, decided to wander around the office in a midriff shirt, or a fishnet vest, I would accept people will look at my exposed toreso. Yet I find so many women wear low cut tops and belt-skirts, and complain about men looking at their exposed flesh."

Women can be wearing a sack and if a man is of low character he will find a way to sexualize it or sexualize the woman and/or attempt to degrade her.

I shared one story earlier and I will share another. One man I was acquainted with (I ate at his restaurant on occasion) saw me at the bus-stop one day waiting for the bus. When he saw a friend of mine the next day he told them I was a prostitute. When the man asked how did he know that he asked "Why else would she be waiting at the bus stop? And how else could she afford a Dolce & Gabbana phone"?

Apparently if you do not drive a car in Los Angeles you must be a prostitute or stripper. Hmmm, maybe people do not want to spend $4.27 for gas?

I share these stories to show how women are disrespected who DO cover themselves. The problem is not the attire, but the mentality of choice people.
