Women have to learn

undesired attention

it's really that simple

if one looks at the complaints one sees ----------- you see a list of things -

men 'approaching' women ------------ gosh, that's a scary one - just walking up to say hello
saying what's now called inappropriate things like 'hey, you look good' - this is now seen as a crime - hard to believe - but, there you go

'wolf whistling' - so, there you have a woman made up like a sexual light bulb, high heels, short skirt tight skimpy top, pure red lips and the like - wiggling down the street and a bloke wolf whistles ------------------- he's done the wrong thing

really????????????? surely we've got to be kidding

when the said girls get home if no bloke has taken any notice of them - guess what - they are deflated and pissed off

really --------- ya wonder why they have mental issues?????????

come on - if women don't want attention - then fine - sure - it's their right to dress well - but, as soon as they don the purely 'sexual attraction' tools - man - we have to be kidding ourselves if we think that women shouldn't take some responsibility there

it's like driving down the road honking your horn endlessly because it makes you feel better - but, you can't understand why other people are noticing you and reacting

it's time for women to grow up - put the big girl pants on - it's time to be responsible

"Undesired attention" can be neutralised instantly and responsibly with a wave of the hand, a roll of the eyes or a polite thanks but no thanks. You're not talking about that are you. You're talking about undesired attention that turns into a crime on the woman's person, because the next step after a polite thanks but no thanks is to call the police, escalating it to such.

What if the woman wants to dress to the nines to impress a particular man? As a responsible adult of a species that requires procreation for its existence she is entitled to put on a show for a prospective mate. It doesn't mean the other 25 thugs in the bar can cross a line that is well defined in Law.

Why is the woman just asking to have the 'reaped consequences' piled onto her by strangers in this instance? Why don't you think it's simply the responsibility of a man not to invade her space if he's not welcome?

Your argument is akin to allowing thieves to burglarise a house simply because the door wasn't locked. I am having trouble understanding why you think it is the responsibility of women to avoid dressing up and sexually arousing men to the point where they break the law, and not the men whose uncontrollable sexual arousal is the root cause of any problem that might arise?

This stuff....."when the said girls get home if no bloke has taken any notice of them - guess what - they are deflated and pissed off" is entirely unsubstantiated and hints at a predisposed strong resentment of women in general. Have a think about that in a quiet moment. For every girl you could name that goes home in a huff in this manner, I could name 200 that didn't. It doesn't change the fact that women can look as fine as they want to look, and they have all the tools available to responsibly tell an eager but unwanted male to take a hike, up to and including having them charged with harassment, assault or rape, depending on how irresponsible the male offender wants to be.

By the by, compliments alone don't typically constitute sexual harassment, and no case would rest on "Hey you look good" for its success.
