why do women wear revealing dress when they want to be protected

Very simply I believe we enjoy being admired and feeling attractive so we wear clothes to make men look! It's NOT an invitation to more though!! Looking or even going so far as to compliment a woman on her looks, maybe even asking for a date, is FAR different than taking unwelcome liberties!!! You can look and chat without touching.

Personally I love to see attractive women wearing clothing that compliments their figure. By dressing like that they are inviting people to look at them and pay them attention but nothing more. It's sad that some men can't make that distinction and think that the woman is offering more than she is.

An invitation to what? If I opt to wear revealing clothing the most invitation that is there is an invitation for you to look. If I were walking around completely NAKED that STILL doesn't give anyone the right to TOUCH me without my consent. A woman should still be able to expect to be safe regardless of what she is wearing. However, I know that is not the case. Why? Because people HAVE THAT ATTITUDE - that just because there is some skin showing it's perfectly OK for them to grope as they please! I will accept that a woman wearing extremely revealing clothing is putting herself in a dangerous place, but ONLY because that attitude exists in the first place. And it's not an acceptable attitude, in my opinion. Once again - the only invitation that is there when a woman is showing off is the invitation for you to LOOK. But you can look WITHOUT touching.
