And, in some cases, certain clothing is expected in the situation, and if a person does not meet those expectations, they will be treated differently. For example, I wouldn't think anything of a burka at a funeral, but if someone showed up to a funeral naked I'd tell them to get out - or perhaps treat them as if they're mentally ill.
I agree, any person who shows up naked to a public place should be reprimanded, regardless of whether they are male or female. This is obvious. But as I said, I don't believe the spirit of the question was meant in this way. Notice how the OP specifically said "women" instead of just "person". He can correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure he is referring to our culture's objectification of women and their bodies.
Basically, if a woman is more provocatively dressed or showing more skin, does that make you treat/perceive her with less respect as a person worthy of human dignity?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
