The fact is that when people dress provocatively, they generally want to be treated as a sex object to some extent. We're sexual beings. When my wife wears lingerie, she wants to be treated as a sex object, and I happily oblige - yet neither one of us feels as if she's being treated as a lesser human being.
Unless someone has some serious issues, it's not wrong to treat them in the way that they want to be treated. Lots of good relationships started out as superficial attractions. If my daughter dressed to draw such attention, I would hope that she would then try to weed out those who were solely sexually motivated, but it wouldn't be wrong for the men to have sexual interest.
Did you never dress a certain way to catch a man's eye? When it worked, are you saying that he shouldn't have been physically attracted?
Many people find themselves dressing more conservatively when they're married or in a serious relationship. That's because they no longer want to draw attention.
I'm not talking about treating someone as though you are attracted to them. There's a difference between that, and treating them as a sexual object and thus, as lesser people... which is the context the OP is meant in. You know that.
"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."
