I do not wear revealing clothing, I wear my uniform and still feel men staring at my chest. I believe that the cause may be only half sexual and that the other half is that men do not like to make eye contact. And by the way, breasts are not simply a private sexual part, they are meant to be our sustenance of life for the first few months, so looking at them may also be a comfort thing. Basically, if a man cant help but stare, ignore it so long as he isnt being a jerk. I am a woman working in a male oriented atmosphere, namely the army.

A lot of women love a well-placed compliment regarding a non-erogenous zone. However, breasts <i>are</i> sexual organs, and unless a woman is trying to draw attention there by wearing something revealing, it's sort of akin to an invasion of privacy to stand there craning your neck for a better look at a private part. In addition, if the woman is talking to you, the implication of ogling is that you're more interested in a body part than who she is and what's on her mind. And if it happens in a business setting, it's just flat-out inappropriate. On the other hand, I don't have a lot of sympathy for women who complain about this while letting their chests hang out for all the world to see. <a href="http://singletude.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Singletude</a> While I agree that some women are too quick to scream sexual harassment, let me see if I can put the female reaction in perspective for you:

Staring at a woman’s breasts is not in the same category as complimenting her hair or eyes. A lot of women love a well-placed compliment regarding a non-erogenous zone.

However, breasts are sexual organs, and unless a woman is trying to draw attention there by wearing something revealing, it’s sort of akin to an invasion of privacy to stand there craning your neck for a better look at a private part. In addition, if the woman is talking to you, the implication of ogling is that you’re more interested in a body part than who she is and what’s on her mind.

On the other hand, I don’t have a lot of sympathy for women who complain about this while letting their chests hang out for all the world to see.
