There is a saying that sounds something like this: “When you have it,
show it off!” Conservatively speaking, 50% of the women show their
cleavage in some form or another in public.
When one asks a male, most think that that is a good thing. Men
can’t show cleavage, only chest hair, and that isn’t really “in.”
Women are upset when we, men, stare at their cleavage, though
they must know that’s what will happen when she reveals bits of
her breasts.
Oh, I like the shape of breasts, most men do, but my question is:
“Is it wise to bring unrequested excitement to the conference room,
the lunch table and the coffee shop?” Doesn’t it distract from the
person with whom we confer, have lunch with or with whom we sip
coffee? Men show their manliness by showing up and being. Maybe
we have a sexy beard, but bodily distractions are hard to come by
with men.
Would women be fewer times bothered by men if they “button up?”
Would there then be fewer rapes and other forms of abuse?
You tell me.

I couldn’t decide if I wanted to puke or scream with rage when I read your post; not because I thought you were necessarily wrong, but because I was horrified at your narrowness of vision.
When I was a child, I had a one time experince of sexual abuse by two older boys in my neighborhood. I am quite certain I was not dressing provoctivately. I was a seven, I didn’t even have breasts yet. And I would also like to bring to your attention the poor women in the middle east who drape their bodies with so mach fabric, that one can only see their eyes. I am also quite certain that these women are raped regularly.
Sure, a women who dresses to draw sexual attention to herself, will get attention. But the line between attention and violent sexual aggression is huge. One is a normal human response; the other is horrific.
Have you really thought about what you have written?
