But why is wanting to attract men by dressing slutty not a feminist thing?

I just think there's a huge, VAST difference between slut A doing it to land some premium dick or a boyfriend and slut B who does it because she feels that that's what she has to do in order to be liked. Slut A is just taking a path of least resistance. Well, they both are, but their intentions are way different.

There's a difference but I don't think its that vast. Its not feminist in that it objectifies yourself, and if thats your sole reason, and you otherwise don't like dressing that way, how is that at all empowering? If you like dressing that way AND you think it'll attract men, then its not a clear cut, no.

I think the idea of modesty is repressive towards humans in general.. however it does tend to spare the eyes from the 99% of people we'd rather not see half nekkid.
