This is what feminists don't seem to understand: men will be sexually attracted to you no matter what you wear. You could show up in shredded garbage bags and still get propositioned. That's why clothing makes such a difference, though. Because humans have hidden ovulation, men rely on visual cues to indicate the likelihood she's ovulating or "in the mood". So if you dress in heels and a skirt, he thinks he has a higher chance of getting some.
That's also why men can wear underpants to yoga. Men don't ovulate, so clothing is irrelevant to attracting female attention.

Frankly, these types of feminist discussions (male gaze, clothing) are sexist. They are women centered. It will help your feminism to move away from 70 year old books to more recent science on human sexuality. It will all become clear.
