Wanna know what I think? Well, maybe, maybe not, but anyway...
I think that there are lots of men out there who feel guilty when they see a good looking woman, because they are attracted. They aren't taught how to deal with attraction in this culture, and having no way to express it, they blame the woman for making them feel uncomfortable.
Many equate attraction with lust. They don't feel comfortable going up to a woman and saying simply "You're a lovely woman". They have to stuff their feelings, and believe them evil. Consequently, women, as the *cause* of their discomfort, are evil temptresses.
I once attended a church that taught women that if they were assaulted, and they didn't resist, to death, if necessary, that they had committed sin. Completely sick individuals.
Women shouldn't have to avoid dressing nicely just to prevent provocation. Women are beautiful creations of deity, and beauty shouldn't be hidden. Rather, men need to learn how to deal with their feelings in a healthy manner.
Just my 2 cents,
