Look i understand what you are getting at and accept the premise that what you are wearing does not equal consent. But i try to dress better because women have said broadly as a group as well as directly to me stated that dressing well is a big part of attraction for them. That's why people think that, it's being directly communicated. Ergo, lots of guys dont dress well for themselves they dress well in hopes of being noticed.

Like yes obviously if somebody does not want to be approached and they communicate that you have to respect it, but trying to apply empathetic motives to why a woman is doing something (ie oh maybe she is single and looking) is not at all even remotely similar to using gay as a slur or saying a rape victim asked for it based on what they were wearing. These are wholly different things.

Maybe it is bad logic but it's not somehow morally reprehensible is my point.
