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

>wears revealing clothes that they know will grab the attention of the opposite sex
>complains about said attention

yeah, totally makes sense

Just because you know something will happen doesn't make it right.

You know coming out might piss some people off. Does that mean coming out shouldn't be done because it would piss some people off?

don't worry we have better things to do with our time

In my mind, if I (or another girl) am wearing clothing that can be deemed to be revealing:

Staring: Fine.
The occasional tactful compliment: Fine.
A jokey sort of non-sexual compliment: Fine

Beeping a car horn: Not fine. That is terrifying.
Physical contact: Not fine.
Crude remarks: Not fine.

I think shouting at someone else for staring is a little bit excessive.

Totally agree. If I like how something looks, I'll wear it. Though in winter I'm rarely out of jeans and jumpers as it's so cold. Last paragraph is true too. Even wearing blouses can be risky unless you buy about 5 sizes bigger because this happens:



Though I don't see the point in calling people out or getting annoyed with them if they stare/say something etc. It's best to just ignore it and walk away imo.

I do admit that shouting at someone for staring is too far, but then there's a difference between looking because it's a bit distracting, and just openly leering in a creepy "I want to take you back to my lair and ravish you" kind of way. Which is creepy regardless of how attractive the guy is.

Why can't people compliment you without making it crude and sexual? You can compliment someone's legs without being creepy.

This is the sort of rhetoric that evolves into victim blaming. As has already been said, wearing revealing clothing doesn't mean men have the right to sexually harass women. In a free society, I should retain the right to not be harassed regardless of what I wear. The idea that women should be forced to be modest (or otherwise suffer sexual aggression) is barbaric.

I'm probably the most oblivious person in the universe, so I can't even tell when someone gives me the creepy "I want you" stare. On the odd occasion when I do notice though, I gotta admit, that's also terrifying and a general douchey move to make.

Of course, I've gotten compliments that were not inappropriate. E.G;

"You have nice legs": Okay.
"Nice Smile": Okay
"I want to marry you and make you my wife": Borderline, but Okay.
"Nice ass, I want to ram my cock through your butt cheecks so bad": Probably not Okay.

You don't need to wear a burkha to look modest otherwise it would be compulsory to wear one in Islam.

I have a feeling you're just looking for an argument now..

This is subjective tbh; I understand when women wear literally nothing but wearing a slightly shorter skirt or a tighter top shouldn't get you unwanted attention. It's not about it coming from the right people; it's about giving the right kind of attention. Staring or being complimentary is fine but some guys can be vulgar pigs (yes I know women can behave horribly as well before you start bitching me out) and it really pisses me off. If you can't say anything that doesn't make you seem like a creep don't say anything at all.
