irrational

For a woman to have to cover up so that a man won’t think or do the wrong thing does not follow with other social norms and laws.

That would be like requiring people to walk so that someone isn’t tempted to steal their car.

That would be like prohibiting questions so that someone isn’t tempted to lie.

That would be like mandating people to stay indoors so that someone isn’t tempted to do violence to them outside the home.

That would be like banning credit cards so that someone isn’t tempted to steal your card number.

Westerners need to start putting the responsibility for actions on the subject, not the object.  If a person wants to cover or expose any part of their body, that should be their right, without fear of retribution or incrimination for someone else’s actions.  That sounds a lot like the freedom of speech… say what you will, people choose to get offended, and it’s their responsibility to react or not.
