Do women objectify themselves when they wear short skirts, high heels, tight blouses etc? Not that I mind. I thoroughly enjoy them. Don’t attack me, I’m not excusing harassment. Just an opinion question. Looking nice is one thing, but putting out the sexy vibes seems practically unfair. #justwalkaway.
No matter what the intention of the woman dressing up was.
-is she young and single and looking to attract the biggest studs in the club
-or is she a mature married woman who wants to look good for her husband
-or she just enjoys dressing up, it is fun and she feels better about herself
-she is in a field where looks matter, Hollywood and entertainment
They are objectified. Not saying it is good or bad. Or whose fault. That is how it has been since forever. Probably will stay that way forever.
I was thinking about this today as I was walking into work. It's cold outside and many women are walking from their cars, far away parking lot, with their coats wide open so they can show off their low cut cleavage showing shirts and thigh high hussy boots. It's obvious what they are doing. It's so people will look at them.

I suppose everyone does it. But some just have strong medicine. Like
When women dress to get noticed, they dress to get noticed by other women, and certain guys only. If you don't know if you are one of those guys or not, you're not one of those guys.

True. I have an ugly uncle thats been accused of harassment for hitting on some women. If he was real attractive he probably would have just got laid.
While I do not understand the point of this post, I would like to clarify that being noticed and getting touched are two different things entirely.
I am wearing a blazer (not buttoned) with a white camisole underneath, black skinny pants and trendy booties. I even did my hair and am wearing a necklace lol.. Would I be insulted if someone looked at me as I passed them by, no not at all. Does the fact that I am sort of dressed up give anyone the right to touch me or make sexual remarks to me, absolutely not.
Men go to the gym to work out and ultimately get a nice six pack. Do they do this to get noticed when they go shirtless?Are they objectifying themselves? What about men who dress like catalogue models in everyday life? Are they objectifying themselves. I admit, I look sometimes lol
Exactly, as I tell my husband all the time "you can window shop, you just cannot buy"
