I think you have not referred to my post regarding the statistics and research on the topic by the West.
What you are representing is your personal opinion. What I have referred to are established facts.
Over 70%
of women in the UK say they have experienced sexual harassment in public
Only 3%
of women aged 18-24 told us they had not experienced any of the behaviours we asked about
This is a global issue – almost 9 in 10
women in some cities around the world feel unsafe in public spaces
Every 10 Minutes
somewhere in the world an adolescent girl dies as a result of violence.
And the systems in place to reduce violence and harassment
ARE NOT WORKING.
Only 4% of women told us they reported the incidents of harassment to an official organisation – with 45% of women saying they didn’t believe reporting would help change anything.
Our research purpose was to assess research addressing relationships between dress and sex. Our review was focused on a 25 years span (i.e., 1990–2015) and on empirical research utilizing human participants published in refereed journals. Three main areas of research emerged: (1) dress used as...

In the context of objectification and violence, little attention has been paid to the perception neuroscience of how the human brain perceives bodies and objectifies them. Various studies point to how external cues such as appearance and attire could ...

because even the West is facing a reckoning with sexual harrassment, violence against women, rape etc.
At least over there there is more and more transparency and more people have been willing to talk about it and come forward with the passage of time, allowing better data collection and research. can we say the same for a country like Pakistan?
in our part of the world, many simply do NOT want to even talk or consider it as an issue. women are bullied to stay quiet because of "izzat, logg kya kahenge, tumne hii kuch kiya hoga etc."
and what is the standard response for many here? CHADAR AUR CHAAR DIWARI! as in physical/material things that only women are expected to follow.
instead of changing misogynistic attitudes that simple treat women as "peyr ki jooti" that still will take a LOT of effort to eliminate.
What is your point here? only men should lower their gaze and women should be allowed to do whatever they want?
Only telling the guys is not the solution, whereas, they have a different brain, different neurology and different stimulating triggers, which the women will be completely unable to understand, because they have a different brain.
as I mentioned in a previous post, men in our part of the world stare like animals even at those women who keep purdah. niqabis/hijabis etc also face similar discomfort & physical harrassment if they are out in public from men.
guess what, women have also been inappropriately touched/stared/harrassed when wearing Ihram during Hajj/Ummrah too!
women are NOT the problem here.
men have the power and men have the responsibility to better themselves to treat women as fellow human beings first.
