Women who wear clothing really tight ask for men to say ignorant things to them. To start off, what is the sense of wearing clothes which show a lot of a womens body, and who are the women trying to impress. If a lady does not like to be talked about behind her back, she should wear more conservative clothing. Next, sure there are some women out there who like to be noticed by men, and they would not say anything about the guys whistling at them. Then again there are other women who wear clothes like than, and they will turn men in for sexual harrassment. How many times do you see a man wearing clothes which are so tight that they cannot even breathe. If men would start to wear clothing like that women would probably do the something. Last, some of the solutions to this problem are self control, and women should wear clothes more set for their standards. Men do not have to yell at every pretty thing which walks by, and they could have more respect for women. Women should think more about what they are wearing out in public. I think that if people would listen to my solutions, there would be no more sexual harassment problems in the world.
