Women in public, no matter how they're dressed, are not "inviting" ANYTHING.

421. I see a lot of these tactless, demanding OPs, then only when the author gets negative feedback

does she backtrack & begin to explain in a more civilized manner what should have been the OP in the first place. "Get it?" & referring to women in a broad sense are going to get pushback.

That's where the "drama" began.

Like it or not, what a woman wears makes a statement to the public about who she is. It's the only introductory criteria strangers have to assess her as a person. I'm not saying that it's right or fair; that's the way it is.

Whether a woman gets respect or not in public begins with herself. I know that as a woman. Walk with your head up high, with a deliberate gait of confidence, & choose to dress how you want to be perceived by others.

And another thing, I like being a woman. I like it when I walk into the mall or a restaurant & heads turn. I like the way I'm treated by others. I know when to show my cleavage & when it's not appropriate. I'm proud of my long legs, too. The fact that I don't get cheesy cat-calls is the result of dressing appropriately & my attitude.
