Before commenting on such dresses, I would firmly state that even if a woman is dressed inappropriately, it doesn’t give anyone the right to behave inappropriately toward her or pass judgements about her or stare at her. People who stare or approach a woman to call her names or curse her because of that are absolutely wrong.
Having said that, I agree with you that some dresses are meant to draw certain kind of attention. Such dresses are sold and purchased in the name of fashion. Sure, some men will cause harm regardless of what a woman is wearing. But there are many who sit on the fence and women do not realize as to how many fence sitters are there and to what extent they can go to cause harm when incited like that.
How about this: who cares? Who cares if they wear cute outfits that are "meant to get attention"? Are you an animal without higher level thinking that you have to overreact when you see an attractive woman? Like, people are attracted to each other..OK. That doesn't give them the right to act on being "incited." The world will never be perfect, but we don't have to sit there and be apologists for ~fence sitting men who are waiting on an opportunity to be beasts.~

That might be the opinion of an atheist but world certainly does not function this way. Revealing cloths do incite crimes whether you admit it or not. Talking about the animals, humans are real and bigger monsters than all other animals in such matters. And even it's not about crimes, it's about the respect that a woman gets with full clothes. Having said that, men should not move their gaze down at the sensitive parts of women as well, even if they are not fully dressed. Both genders should play their role to make this place a better place.

This is pathetic, lmao. So we should function as a society that does not try to deter crimes like this, but just accept that it happens and do nothing to solve it. Your explanation is a cop out. There are literal societies on this planet where traditionally both women and men wear very little clothing (Himba, Gebusi as two out of soo many examples) and they function without people collectively having aneurysms looking at each other's bodies. In the ~The West~ it used to be unacceptable to show ankles and now a woman's ankles entices nobody. You and other people like you are just apologists. If males cannot control themselves and have to force themselves on to non-consenting women just because they feel entitled to just any woman's body they should be locked up and that type of attitude should be discouraged in greater society. Also, you can keep that respectability politics nonsense to yourself.
I’m no apologist for cold weather yet advise to wear warm clothes when its cold, I’m no apologist for road accidents yet advise to follow traffic rules, I’m no apologist for thieves yet advise to keep valuables out-of-sight, so on and so forth. I don’t blame the victim but see the need to devise ways to reduce incidents. If someone doesn’t want truth to get in the way of their story its their choice.
US has been spending more $$$ locking up people than anybody else, yet sexual assaults have overall increased year after year. When a low-cost solution exists, just going out of the way to find expensive solutions merely for ideological objections is futile. Perhaps the most shining example is India which is adopting US culture without spending the US $$$ and the number of sexual assaults is setting a new record every year.
Men should stop blaming women for their animalistic behavior.
If we speak from a religious point of view, even that asks both parties to do their part ;Women to dress modestly and men to lower their gaze. Every sinner is responsible for his/her sin and not for the sin of the other. We should stop pointing fingers at the other and look at ourselves. Change starts from within.

Here is the thing: you can't control the weather. Road accidents are still pretty much blamed on the irresponsible driver. Yadda yadda. The fact that we have to create values to keep women in check because of men's behavior toward's women *(generally speaking) is pathetic. Bringing up the US's mass incarceration is hilarious because that reality is not because of men being locked up left and right because of harassment or sexual assault so LMAO. There is nothing wrong with trying to keep yourself safe using whatever methods, but thinking that society's values should be built up reducing the presence of women, whether it be not having social backing to wear capris or some *** or women straight up need a male guardian to go anywhere for their "safety" is pathetic. When do women have to cease having a presence because men cannot handle it? In our precious beautiful saaf Muslim-majority societies women are still harassed while wearing modest clothing because they know of the stigma of wearing more revealing clothing.
There is literal proof that societies can function with both men and women wearing ~revealing and erotic~ clothing (pre-European contact societies in Africa, the Pacific....) but for some reason people find this hard to fathom. When you eroticize the mere existence of a woman you get the type of nonsense OP posted.
