> I'm not seeing apples for apples in your argument - it'd be valid to say the popular female opinion (whatever that is) is hypocritical if their stance was that men couldn't wear revealing clothing
Isn't that their stance? If a man went out in public with 1/3 of the flesh of his penis showing, everyone would be cool with it? The reality is, he'd be arrested for indecent exposure. In this case, the equivalent of what women do on a regular basis is quite literally illegal.
> but you're making the point that they're hypocrites for wearing provocative clothing and then being upset if they're treated indecently or worse
No I'm not.
> If I'm rich and wave my money as I walk down the street, it's still a crime to rob me even if you feel as though I was asking for it.
I'm not saying otherwise.
This conversation is actually not a terrible example of my overall point.
It's not very obvious, to me at least, what your overall point is?

I don't understand what the specific double-standard you're alluding to it? I don't think a woman with exposed genitals is going to escape an indecent exposure charge.
Upthread you liken men wearing revealing clothing to sexual assault, but I've never seen this as a talking point in the gender discourse.
