“And in general, it makes zero sense to believe that a woman who dresses provocatively is providing an open invitation for every man who happens to see her. “

If a woman dresses “provocatively” (whatever that means) why should every man who happens to see her not think she is providing an “open invitation” (whatever that means)?

If a woman dresses “provocatively” and thereby successfully provokes someone, what is her basis for complaint?

If a woman dresses “provocatively” and thereby successfully provokes someone, what is her basis for complaint?

When you dress well, in a way that shows off your best physical attributes, is the reaction you intend to provoke sexual harassment or sexual assault? Would you complain if your attempt to dress in an exciting fashion resulted in such behavior from random people you had zero interest in?

I've been to Muslim countries where women cover themselves from head to toe because they might "provoke someone". I prefer Western society and the ability to appreciate the sight of a pretty woman without bothering her. All it takes is a little sense and a little decency.
