Why do some girls wear revealing clothes and then get angry at unwanted attention?

- how is it not obvious to you, when you identified it in your initial question? O.o

I wear pretty modest clothing all year round, but when it gets really hot, I dread wearing my summer dresses - even though I love them! I wish I could just put them on and love the fact that I know I look good in them, I'm not boiling up beneath a cardigan, etc. But I can't, because of unwanted attention. Why should anyone have to wear something they don't really want to wear, just because some strangers can't respect another human?! It doesn't matter what the stranger looks like to me - I don't wear anything for anyone apart from myself and occasionally my partner in my day-to-day, and it feels like violation when the attention comes just because I've taken the risk to wear a particularly nice top that might be reveal something inadvertently.

Surely it matters more that people think their cat calling and 'endearing' insults and come-ons are more important than the feelings of others, than what you're suggesting - i.e someone should just 'not wear a top' if it's revealing, despite them perhaps loving how it fits, feels, looks, etc?

I don't intend to offend anyone but why is it that many girls in today's society choose to wear revealing clothes (very short skirts, low neck tops etc.) and then get annoyed when perverted men in the street wolf whistle and try to harass them? Like today for example, I was at the mall and this girl started insulting this dude for 'staring at her breasts' when she chose to wear a low neck top? Surely, if she didn't want such attention, she wouldn't have worn that top? This isn't the first time i've witnessed something like that in public and just curious as to why some women act like this?

Wearing something isn't an invitation for sexual harassment

(Relatively) revealing clothing isn't a free pass to cat-call and harass people.

I'm a female myself and it confuses me from time to time too

It would be to a hormonal teenager

Did you think of getting implants?

I don't want attractive guys to ogle me either.

What is your answer to this?

They are desperate for attention.
i dont get it either, who wants THAT kind of attention?

Because I think the top looks nice? To be honest, I feel more awkward about having my shoulders exposed, I have a few tops that are quite low, they don't show any cleavage (because there's not that much to show), but you can see my collarbone and stuff (and apparently collarbone fetishes are a thing?) but I don't really feel like I'm revealing much by wearing them because I've usually got a cardigan on as well. Also in summer I like to wear dresses and not wear tights because it's hot and if it's sunny in Britain and I can get away with it, you bet I'll take advantage. Doesn't mean I want to be treated like a sex object. Or if you're going to comment, do it tastefully, like "You have nice legs", not "Phwoar, I'd do her" kind of thing. Not that anyone's done that (as far as I know), but I wouldn't enjoy it if they did.

Also, for girls who've got larger breasts, it's pretty damn hard for them to wear anything other than turtlenecks without some kind of cleavage showing, so there's no need for people to act like they're just doing it for male attention, why can't they have nice clothes too?

Why not wear a t-shirt and some knee-length shorts then?

I doubt the OP was referring to summer dresses. More like booty shorts, and a low cut crop top...

No-one said anything about rape... bit reaching there..
TBH by it's very nature wearing something because it looks nice inevitably invited others to see as such imo.

Why are you recommending other things for me to wear when I've made it clear I want to wear my dresses?
