I'm sure a woman would dress differently to go to a nightclub and to teach kindergarten. Suppose then a woman finds herself in the wrong situation... then she'd be embarrassed if 'under' dressed.
I'm a bit like Evie. I am attracted but then get embarrassed that I do. Women are then embarrassed that I look away and are always prudish around me. I guess they're not 'dressing up' for me but for other hunks they expect to meet
Objectification of women is damaging to both sexes IMO.
And for my religion's view on women... in the creation story beings are formed in order of complexity. The last thing created was woman.
Why should a woman feel 'under' dressed at any time but one in which they are cold? So far as I can tell... there is nothing in the slightest wrong (or embarrassing) with 'provocatively?' dressing, dressing in a trench coat, or not bothering to wear clothing at all

But I am bit like you and Evie... in that I am attracted to people (I like looking at faces and other defining features of a person)... but am too embarrassed by <removed>, so i usually just avert my head and sneak short, disguised glances with my peripherals



Objectification of people is damaging to people, in my opinion. There is no "Who" that can be asked of my table... but if you can degrade a person to the point of being no different than my table: then that would be to undervalue them immensely.

Then how did mormonism and islam (and even much of christianity and judaism) manage to trade their daughters as cattle?


Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
