There are many issue that could affect this case. For one thing you have to decide whether the women just ware clothes like that or if they do it for a reason. For instance if the women were known for wearing very revealing clothing on purpose just to show to the men well maybe that should be stopped. But then you have to look at the men many things could affect him. For instance if he's married and doesn't want anything to do with other women even to look at, and doesn't think anybody else should either, then that is one thing. But if the man is normal and does like women I cant really figure out why he would want this stopped. I would have to say that the man is wrong for having the women reprimanded for this, But it probably was the women fault for flalating or something to that affect. But I think the women should sue him if he is dumb enough to reprimand them for wearing short skirts.
