many women complain of being sexualised etc and yes I agree it's not good, but from where I am as a 64 year old man I think in my lifetime things have got much better
I don't hear men wolf whistling in the streets, male conversation about women is a lot more polite than it used to be, I can remember friends actually saying to young women "Nice tits" and other similar things or grabbing hold of a ladies bottom.
today I see a well endowed young woman walking down the street with a low cut tee shirt on that had the slogan "tweet about #these then"
sorry but you can't have it both ways ladies

... today I see a well endowed young woman walking down the street with a low cut tee shirt on that had the slogan "tweet about #these then" sorry but you can't have it both ways ladies okay, have some sympathy with that view. However I also find it hilariously funny. I think had I bumped into themself I would have struggled to keep a straight face. You could also see it having an entirely deliberate sense of post feminist irony about it*. Its also perhaps mocking of what happens to men's brains when they have a particularly attractive set of assets flaunted in their face, and the level their post experience communication is likely to drop to. "Hey mate, guess what I saw on the street today....". I think it is possibly quite clever. I think if you are going to flaunt it, you shouldn't expect men [in particular] to not look and at least inwardly take note, and perhaps have a smile cross their face. The world would be a sadder place without. But there is a difference between that and being demeaning. Also a difference between that and assuming that every woman welcomes the uninvited attention. Dressing up, or allowing them to do so, young girls (I mean pre-teens particularly) in what in an adult would be considered 'flaunting' or sexualised clothing is in my book however a different topic entirely. *This is a phrase that I thoughtI had just cleverly dreamed up, and seemed to fit the 'concept' I had in mind. Having googled it though, apparently the phrase is 'a thing', but meaning almost the flipside of what I intended. I'll just leave it there , as an example of how language can be confusing.

Some young adults want attention for sure. Have any one seen those people wearing illuminating star br* top for drinks and parties? They are so bright in the dark.

Most won't. Get over it. Women should be free to do what they want, when they want. Just like the guys do. Is that so difficult to comprehend?

Of course they are free to do whatever they want as not as not requiring my consent to do anything in return. I can’t always let them have it all their ways they want.
It’s all mutual.

Woman wears cheeky tee shirt. Stop the press! Surely just worth a passing smile.

Indeed. A smile.
Unlike the T-Shirt I saw some revolting specimen of the male gender wearing in my local supermarket a few years ago. If it wasn't for the fact that he (and the equally unpleasant female with him) were exiting I would have found "the management" and suggested that perhaps it was not appropriate to be wearing in a s/market with kids around.
I should add I'm most definitely not a prude.
