Think about this for a minute, do your clothes attract sex? Does your outfit scream I want sex now? This blog is more for the ladies than the guys. Ladies please watch what you wear in public, because your clothes send a STRONG image about your sex life. Just take minute and go look in your closet and see what is inside. Now if your closet is full of nothing but booty shorts, short skirts, and tube tops which you wear on a constant basis then we might have a problem. By wearing those clothes on an everyday basis you are screaming to guy, “hey look at me I want your attention and if I get your attention then just maybe I will give you something. “That is not the type of message you want to send at 2am in Wal-Mart. If you’re tired of guys coming up to you trying to play you as if you are an easy catch, take a look at yourself and make sure what you are presenting is not calling them to you.

While I agree that sometimes clothing choices are made with the hope that someone will notice you, women are certainly not the only ones who do that, and no matter what you're wearing, whatever your gender, your clothes do not speak for you. If a woman is wearing a sexy dress and a man comes up to her and starts touching her because he thinks she wants it, he is absolutely wrong to do so unless she told him, with words, that that's what she wanted. He has no right to touch her based only on what she's wearing. Assuming that a woman wants something based on the way she is dressed is very dangerous. 
Also, as a rule, anything that seems to be true only for women, is probably largely sexist. You say "this blog is more for the ladies..." Why?? If the idea/argument can't go both ways, it's probably sexist. You imply that men can wear whatever they want, but for women to do so puts them in danger. That's wrong.
