A female Democratic lawmaker on Wednesday reportedly said women who wear revealing clothing often create an “invitation” to sexual harassment. “I saw a member yesterday with her cleavage so deep it was down to the floor,” Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-OH), 71, told fellow Democrats during a caucus private meeting meant to discuss sexual harassment issues, according to Politico. “And what I’ve seen … it’s really an invitation.”

Politico’s unnamed sources said, “the comments left many others in the room stunned.”

“Maybe I’ll get booed for saying this, but many companies and the military [have] a dress code,” Kaptur reportedly said. “I have been appalled at some of the dress of … members and staff. Men have to wear ties and suits.”

Ties are sexist. Look where they point.

Wow, a female demorat stumbles on the truth. Something anyone with a shred of common sense already knows, but of course, in this day of open hostility to truth, can never be admitted in public.

Civ, Blam might of pointed out the string dresses the girls were required to wear at 14 but not after marriage, advertising I think that what it is called. Neolithic kind of thing, still common in some parts of Eastern Europe, more covering though.

“Women who dress provocatively in the workplace these days need to get reported to HR. Face facts, men need to protect themselves.
It’s time to turn the tables, men. Report ‘em.”

I think you might walk right into a catch-22 problem there, going to HR and reporting a coworker for looking too dam hot. The one who gets in trouble might be you!

In hot areas they aren’t required to wear anything, often the men either, or each of them wear loincloths. Readers of National Geographic learn early that there’s such a thing as too much nudity.

[SunkenCiv]

That’s just mean. :^)

Depends on how it's reported. If it's simply dressing unprofessionally or as a violation of the office's dress code I think it'd be safe.

Then again, we do live in strange times.

Apropos - in a kind of sick way...;-)

I agree with most of her premise on this. I don’t think all women consciously invite harassment by their immodest dress, but women need to realize that invites attention whether they want it or not, and that in itself can lead to negative consequences.

A cobra will kill you fairly quickly.
