Guys will look and oggle no matter what a woman is wearing. I dress pretty conservatively and always have, but I could wear a moo moo and there'd be some guy thinking I was dressing to show off my wares. Give me a break.

Considering the dress standards women have had over the years to help men control thier urges, yes we are wearing less and less. But there are still parts of the world where a woman, not wearing a burka is "showing too much".

I really don't know what you are talking about. Why would she bring a gun the next day? Were you threatening her? Maybe you shouldn't be doing whatever it is you think you'll be shot over.

but as Vaudeville showman used to say: "But will it play in Passiac, New Jersey or Iowa?"
I believe the phrase you are looking for is actually "Will it play in Peoria?"

I don't think being cross gender would do it.

But one can run a test. An ugly woman can show a man pornography and that man is likely to be willing to engage in sex with that ugly woman. I don't think it would work for an ugly man to show pornography to a woman and get the same result.

I might not be doing anything wrong, but she could be a psychopath. You just never know.

If I don't like something I'm seeing, I leave that place.

When a woman oversteps the bounds of propriety and the male is not attracted to her, the response would be similar to the above mentioned scenario.
Nah. Or if so, it must be a generational thing. I've certainly never been anything but flattered if any woman has ever approached me. Even when I turned her down, I was still flattered (now, that does exclude some Angeles City bargirls, but I understood they were just hawking). I don't think I've been sexually harassed by a woman, at least not in the legal sense of the term.

There are also men who would freak out and tell a woman she is fat and ugly if she sidles up to him at a bar. It's not the norm, but it happens. (Yes, I have comforted a friend who was shamed that way.)
You pointed out that it was not the norm. As I said before, there are always outliers, but that does not invalidate the bell curve.

I would never approach women down here. They carry guns, and I do not. Don't want to die so early.
The women in Atlanta carry guns?

Not sure what that has to do with wearing a sports bra while working out.
