I am so tired of the "women invite sexual harassment from men because of the way they dress" line.

Dogs may hump your leg because they don't know any better, but they can be trained not to. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that we shouldn't expect less of adult men than we do our household pets - the concept is not difficult. And when WOMEN lay the blame on other women? Oh man, that ticks me off.

@malice there is a book 'Nine Parts of Desire: The Hidden World of Islamic Women' (1994) by Geraldine Brooks.
Which describes the overt misogyny of the Islamic world but once you see the patterns they are everywhere.
I have had to explain time and again to men that we don't dress for them but for other women. If we did dress for men god, the outfits 😨😨😨

@cathyshepherd Yeah. A lot of men are under the impression that we wear makeup and so on to impress men, but pretty much any woman will agree that men will compliment or hit on pretty much anyone, where if another woman compliments you, you know she means it. And a lot of us will do basic appearance stuff even if we live alone and will never leave the house that day just because it makes us feel nice. It really is not just for dudes at all.
