Are my legs considered long?
Actually Stacy Keibler doesn't really have very long legs compared to some super models and leg models. Her legs are actually pretty short and bulky compared to top models. Models like Adriana Karembeu has an outseam of 49+ inches and she's only 1.5 inches taller than Stacy Keibler. Others like Anna Hickman also have out seams approaching 50 inches. BTW, i'm 5'11 and my inseam is a bit over 38 inches... I haven't measured my outseam, but it's probably close to 50 inches too.

Why do women wear revealing clothing?
I am noone's boyfriend or parent. But I am well-qualified to answer this question since I am a woman myself.I would never date or marry someone who believes that he can "allow" me to do something. I am not a child, I am a grown woman. I don't mind someone close to me suggesting that a particular type of clothing might not be appropriate for an occasion or a place, but I am also free to ignore the suggestion. I don't ask anyone for permission to wear what I want to.My mom does give her opinion about things I wear sometimes. Most of the times, I agree with her and sometimes I don't. But thankfully, she is also quite aware that in the end, what I wear is my choice and she can only advise (and not order me) to wear or not to wear something.I have a sister and I give her advice about what to wear when she asks, else I keep my opinions to myself.Why should I confine myself to "comfortable clothing"? What is "comfortable clothing"? Some of the clothing you described sounds comfortable enough to me. In the question details OP you say that you don't think revealing clothing leads to rape. Then what's the problem with wearing the clothes you describe as revealing? Or is it that you think that it leads to other sexual offences such as sexual harassment, etc. (sections 354A-D of Indian Penal Code)? As with rape, men who commit these offences don't commit them because women wear revealing clothes. Those who want to act in such a way do so regardless of what the victim is wearing. It seems a lot easier for the Indian society to blame women for attracting "unwanted attention" instead of placing blame on those who do pay such "unwanted attention". It's really simple, my body is my own and I can wear whatever I want to wear as long as it does not violate any laws. Your body is your own and you can do whatever you want with it, unless and until you invade the personal space of another person, such invasion may be unlawful and may lead to legal consequences.Men themselves can certainly wear shorts and walk down a street without being sexually harassed because of it. And noone's asking them not to. So "revealing" clothing is not the cause. So the question is why shouldn't women wear "revealing" clothing if they want to? What harm does it cause?
When women wear revealing attire or something that shows most of their legs, are they trying to be rebellious?
Actually according to me it would be a big no because you would only wear these kind of dresses to show your fashion, if not you want to kick someone with your bare legs .But if by rebellious you mean to say that you oppose India's fashion (if you live in India) then I would say yes . For a third world country like India , people still do not accept these kind of dresses to be worn in open streets . And if you go on flouting these thoughts then you are certainly trying to be rebellious.Hope this helps .Thank you .
Why are fashions for women revealing, yet women get upset when they are looked at?
Fashion is all kinds of things, not just revealing. People— both women and men— select from the pool of fashions and trends and wear what makes them feel good, or comfortable, to get a reaction, to make a statement, to conform or to rebel.So a woman can wear “revealing” clothing (what exactly is considered revealing? Showing the legs, cleavage, arms, ankles, curves??) for any number of reasons. Those reasons don’t matter. They are none of my business or yours.Some women don’t get upset when they wear provocative (?) clothing and are looked at. They want to be looked at and admired. They have worked at presenting themselves in a way that is pleasing to themselves and hope that the look is pleasing to others.“Looked at”, though, is another too vague term, like “revealing”. A glance is looking. A glance and a smile is looking. Rudely staring is looking at. Ogling is also looking at. Leering is a form of looking at. Grinning and drooling and winking are other ways of looking.Guess what? Some forms of “looking at” are scary and threatening. Think walking alone and then being “looked at”/ ogled/ leered at/ catcalled by a group of people. It doesn’t matter if you are wearing a burka, a Laura Ashley frock, a tank top and yoga pants, or a sequinned mini-dress, it is RUDE and frightening to be singled out and leered at because you are in an outfit that some men think is an invitation to be gawked at and judged.TL;DR: There are no actual “fashion police” who get to decide what is revealing (I got it, you meant “too revealing”). Women can and should be able to wear what they want without feeling humiliated or threatened. If this is too much of a mystery for you to understand, you need to keep your distance (please) until you have a lot more experience, education, understanding, and empathy.
Why do SOME women dress in revealing outfits, but get offended when men look at them?
Those are the same women who dress like that at work and then complain when a guy asks them out. They also are the ones who think their bodies will get them anything they want and get pissy when it doesn't work out like that. Now, I'm not saying that those women are "asking" for it or anything but seriously, ladies, what the f do you expect to get for attention when you dress like a hooker? Boredgal: I've gotta say, I find the women who dress like hookers a lot more offensive than men who leer and drool. 1) We expect men to act like pigs. 2) We know it is going to happen when we dress like sluts. 3) Just as it is your right to dress as you choose, it is also a man's right to LOOK where he chooses. If you don't want him leering down your dress, don't put it all out there.
Why do girls dress in revealing clothes then complain that they get groped and catcalled?
Why do girls dress in revealing clothes then complain that they get groped and catcalled? showing off their legs or arms or back or even stomach when it is expected and common as breathing. it is pretty much exactly like if I decided to hang a piece of meat around my neck and jump into a pool with a shark, and then be surprised when the shark tries to eat me if you don't want it you should go with your boyfriend or male friend or brother. This is just one of the prices of being a pretty girl and dressing in revealing clothes

Why do some girls wear short or "revealing" clothes?
The answer depends on what you mean by "provocative." That's an extremely subjective assessment. If you're from a culture where women don't wear trousers and favor long, loose skirts, then fitted trousers might seem provocative. If you're from a culture where women cover themselves from collar on down, then any décolletage might be shocking. If you live on the beach in Southern California, then you're used to women roller-skating by in a bikini top and cut-off shorts. Generally, women wear body-revealing clothing for one of three reasons: It's more comfortable than something less revealing, we enjoy displaying our body, or we're simply conforming to fashion trends. When it's 95 degrees out, I want to wear as little as possible. On the other hand, I sometimes wear something revealing in cold weather because I like the look of the body parts that are showing, and I like that other people like them. And sometimes I'm not thinking about whether others will enjoy seeing certain body parts, and instead I'm thinking "Midriff-baring shirts are trendy right now. I want people to see me as a fashionable person, so I will wear a midriff-bearing shirt." (Ah, the nineties!) As you suggest in your question details, some people (particularly uncouth men) assume that women wear revealing clothing as an invitation. We certainly do that sometimes. But it's a bad idea to assume that's why a given woman is wearing a given outfit. Even if an outfit shows all the signs of being intentionally sexy, we might be wearing it to issue an invitiation to one specific person, not to you; if we don't own a trenchcoat, you see us in that outfit when we're on our way to the hottie we're interested in.
Why do women wear such revealing clothing in public?
I just notice that women and more disturbingly young girls wear clothing like shorts that barely have any fabric on them showing the entire leg with flip flops. They also seem to wear exercise clothes like gym shorts that show off the butt and body. Why is everything so sexual now? Guys sit around and talk about banging chicks all day like that's their goal in life. Everything is centered on the female organism and how she bloody looks! Has this society just gone down the tube in a big hurry or what?
Why do men, in general, not wear skin-revealing clothes while a lot of women do?
As usual, the Social Justice Warriors have things bass-ackwards - demand drives the product market, not the other way around. Anything you see in a store is pulled there by consumer demand. Retailers can’t afford to waste valuable space on merchandise that doesn’t sell so, if it doesn’t move (or even if it doesn’t move fast enough), it’s GONE!!In brief, girls’ clothes are revealing and sexualized because that’s what said GIRLS WANT and they and THEIR MOTHERS ARE BUYING.The reason even preschool girls are so often seen wearing revealing clothes (such as the see-through dress above) is because their mothers (and grandmothers) buy them! Even young boys are not immune from mothers trying to turn them into sexualized ideals. (Most sources take the neutered stance by simply referring to such decisions being made by the ‘primary homemaker’, even though 97% of said homemakers are women.)By the time they hit their teens, however, kids (both male and female) are going to wear whatever the hell they want, most often buying such clothing with their own money - even if they leave the house in one outfit, there’s no assurance that’s what they’re wearing when the school bell rings. Inbetween, there’s the incessant “I WANT I WANT I WANT” to which most parents inevitably cave. (Again, mostly mothers.)Of course, the primary motivation for teenage girls is to emulate their favorite female pop celebrities - particularly the ones who regularly perform in revealing, see-through stage costumes as ‘symbols of empowerment’. Such outfits scream to impressionable teens that “THIS is how young women should dress” - leading to young men having a poor impression of female peers who don’t adhere to this standard, same as young women themselves.So don’t go blaming retailers for stocking what sells - blame performers like Miley Cyrus for making girls and young women idealize such fashions in the first place.
