If you've got it, flaunt it?

I used to work in an office tower in a very busy downtown core. We were fortunate to have a park near our office and, during the warm seasons, it was always crowded with people at lunch time. It was pleasant to bring your lunch and eat outside. Some folks used to even bring towels and sunscreen and tan on the grass! There was a secretary in one of the firms in the building. The walkway from the office to the park (lined with benches where people also sat to eat)was her "catwalk." She would dress for work in micro minis, stiletto heels, clingy tops and was always in "full hair and makeup." I'll be the first to say that this young woman was a knock-out and, according to the guys in my office, "extremely hot". I figured, she was young, had more good looks than she could carry in bucket, so why not flaunt it, really? Now, I know we could discuss what is and is not appropriate clothing to wear to work but that wasn't the problem. Problem was, she would do her "strut" down the walkway every single day of the work week, at EXACTLY the same hour, and men would inevitably stare, whistle, comment or otherwise drool all over themselves as she walked by. To each and every man, she gave a really dirty look, sometimes "flipped them off" and regularly tossed around some hair-curling vulgarities. How do you feel about her attitude? Do you think it's fair?

I don't know. There could very well be another reason for her dressing that way than to get the catcalls and attention of all the random men in the park. I don't know that I would condone her being oerly rude and yelling obscenties unless someone waid something truly inappropriate. But i think she can dress provocatively and still not want to be heckled. I am not sure there is a right or wrong answer to whether or not it is fair.
