People who will be attracted to said woman when she's naked might get horny and such, but they shouldn't treat her differently. They might act differently around her, but they shouldn't make a point of treating her differently.
Nor should they if they see her in a burka, clearly. They might think she's a Muslim, though, and indulge in a couple of preconceptions about her. They shouldn't strive to let her know it, though. That's the whole point.
I don't agree that clothing doesn't matter. If I see a guy dressed as a proselytizing Mormon, I will not make any cringeworthy perv jokes to him. If I see a naked girl, I will not try to recruit her to my purity club, if I see a man in a business suit I will not offer him half of my sandwich unless he actually mentions being hungry, if I see a woman in a burqa I will not invite her to my skinny dipping party.
Clothes do not determine a person's value or worth. They are a factor in determining how I will treat a person though. People can deny it if they want to seem PC but everyone knows it's true.
I would agree with that except for the fact that you might draw the wrong conclusions and commit a faux pas.
