Welcome to Gaia! ::

I have always thought that if girls who have cleavage or any kind of revealing clothing do not want to be looked at... then why wear it... it seems contradictory to me.

That is all I got on that matter...

Sorry, but I think it is just showing the lack of self-discipline. And instead of saying it is my fault, someone wants to point blame on someone else. In this case, female; lets not forget the male only has to have sex with a woman to see that his genes are passed to the next generation, the woman has a 9 month waiting period then 18 years or so of raising the child.

It isn't a matter of clothing, but how the person sees the other. If all they see is a sex symbol then, they could be dressed as a nun and still be lusted after

I actually agree with Qyp about this. Comments may be too much, but if someone is going to reveal something in public they shouldn't get mad about people seeing it. That's like turning on the TV and complaining about it being on. Don't like it, turn it off. Don't like being looked at, cover up. There are many ways to be both comfortable and covered and if weather is to blame I'd suggest moving North. Easier said than done, I know, but the point is there are solutions to the problem and it is personal choice to stay with it.

No, in that case I suggest you call the police and charge them with harassment. Get their names, numbers, addresses, whatever else you need. Don't bother making contact again and perhaps after dealing with the police they'll learn to be respectful.

Do not twist my words. I'll quote my sentence and explain it to clear away any confusion. "if weather is to blame I'd suggest moving North." By this I am referring to the weather and only the weather. The only reason the weather would be to blame for wearing revealing clothes would be if it is too hot, unless there is some form of weather I'm not familiar with. Generally speaking at least in the Northern Hemisphere it is colder further North. If you're on the Southern side then of course it would get colder if you move South. My advice is to find an area with a climate you are comfortable with and can cover everything up in comfortably then you don't have to show off parts you don't want people seeing.

Seeing and commenting on are two different things, if you don't mind them seeing, but don't want them commenting, then my advice is to call someone to do something about it when someone comments. Depending on what they're saying it could be a form of harassment and that is against the law.

Then your problem is a disrespectful society. You might try carrying a camera phone or a similar device to take pictures of those people and use that to show the police or simply ask when they make the comments. Write down the report and hand it to the police. Harassment should not be tolerated.

They definitely won't if they don't get called at all.

I would keep calling until something is done about it. Look up the local law, quote the part the criminal is in violation of, and using the law verbally twist the hand of the law enforcement to do something about it. They need to do their job just like everybody else.

I have seen women comfortably wear enough clothes to cover from neck to ankle, including fingers, in 90+ degree weather. Personally I wear my leather jacket any day with no problem. I understand that is all according to the individual, but people adapt.

Part of the reason I have trouble sympathizing with the victims of this problem is simply that there are options to solve it themselves. Meanwhile, down in Arizona, there are girls who wear bikini bottoms and stickers for clothing on hot days. Literally, that is it. The stickers cover their nipples. And I have heard them complain about being looked at. Everyone else will be dressed more "decently," but they choose to dress like that with the weather as an excuse then expect horny preteens not to stare. Sorry if this is too graphic here, but that's what I witnessed.

I understand a lowcut shirt is a far leap in decency from stickers, but similar logic applies. No, moving away isn't the answer if you're being decent and especially if the weather is not a problem. Neither should a person have to deal with uncivilized barbarians making rude remarks and inappropriate comments. However, when there are ways to deal with the problem and the victim chooses to allow it to happen, that is when I get frustrated. It's like walking down a dark ally obviously loaded with hundred dollar bills in every pocket and expecting some poor starving bum not to rob you. If you set yourself up for the problem then you should expect it to happen.
