So, Locas (boywonderwho) and I were talking about this earlier and we both love it so much but we can't think of adequate compliments so I'll just tell you that that ending sentence gave Locas chest pains.

Uh, because your choice in what you wear is not to be dictated by someone who isn't you? Not really, no, because a man's opinion isn't so important that a woman has to change how she dresses just for him. A "little" offended is putting it lightly, I have been whistled at in the street and it is humiliatingly degrading, I was not flattered in any way. And the idea of a woman "subconsciously" changing her appearance to appease a man is ludicrous.
Why must a woman be dumb to dress in short skirts? I see no sign saying "your I.Q must be shorter than this skirt if you want to wear it" and if a woman dresses modestly, it's not going to deflect the "pervs" because even "intelligent, respectful" men can turn out to be complete atrocities. A suit may make you appear intelligent and respectful, but it does not make you intelligent and respectful - just like wearing short skirts and lots of make-up doesn't make you automatically brain-dead.
My mother dresses exactly how you describe - "little makeup" and "nicely but modestly" - but she stills gets harassed at her workplace, she still has to put up with condescending men belittling her simply due to the fact that she is female. I am certain that my mother is intelligent, and I am certain that she respects herself, and I am extremely certain that she does not get treated with respect.
I'm not going to clog Destabilise's quote up with arguments though, so I'll agree to disagree with you.

Nothing a woman does or wears is an "invitation" to men; it is for themselves.
A woman can wear a lot of make-up and short skirts and still respect themselves, self-respect is not measured in the length of a skirt.
And by this logic of a woman's clothing affecting a man's better judgement, are you saying if I wear a shirt that stated "kill me", you would? No, you wouldn't; because you wouldn't take a shirt seriously.

If a woman gets tired of men always treating her like that, then why would she continue to dress the way she does. If she really hated it, she would dress more modestly. Women get a little offended when men whistle at them but they do like that someone thinks they are beautiful. That's why she keeps dressing the way she does without even knowing it. But, it is true women put on just a little makeup and dress nicely but modestly just to feel good, that way she looks pretty, feels pretty and doesn’t get treated with disrespect. Woman like that are very smart and attract only nice, respectful men. True men respect woman who respect themselves. What kind of smart, intelligent and nice man would want some girl who prances around with mini-skirts and so much makeup on the streets? He knows that girl isn’t very smart, and all the pervs will go after her.
Now, do you get my point?

Maybe she keeps dressing like that because SHE likes it. If she didn't like it, she wouldn't dress like that, simple.
The way a female dresses does not say anything about her or is not an invitation to anything. If she wears short skirts/short tops/etc it does not mean she is a b*tch/sl*t/wh*re, it only means she likes wearing the stuff she wears.
Now, of course women like people thinking they are/look beautiful, but mostly they like feeling/looking beautiful. She may look awful to you but they wouldn't care about your opinion as long as she feels good with herself.
And if men wanted to comment on how good they look, can't they just tell them nicely "hey, you look good"? Instead of barking and whistling at them in the streets? Men are human beings, they can think, but no, they'd rather act like animals in heat, like they can't contain themselves.
Also, women do not dress/make up for men, there are women who don't like wearing skirts or make up and they don't do it because they just don't like it.
Plus, women who wear short pieces of clothing and make up are just as smart as women who dress "nicely/modestly". Intelligence does not have anything to do with the way you dress. You can cover yourself complety and still be dumb/uneducated.
So, if men like women who respect themselves, maybe they should know that self-respect has nothing to do with the way you dress/look/or how many times you've had or if you're a virgin or not. Self-respect is all about making desicions that make you happy. Please educate yourselves.
