men thinking women's clothing is "offensive" stems from deeply ingrained societal views rooted in the patriarchy, where feminine bodies and choices are policed. saying someone is wearing “offensive clothing” is linking femininity with sexuality, and viewing women's bodies as inherently sexualized objects to be controlled or judged, more than as expressions of personal autonomy. this policing, even when done out of “love”, is often disguised as a concern for modesty and reflects a desire to maintain patriarchal hierarchies, punishing women for appearing too sexual or not sexual enough. it stems from the belief that women's bodies are for male consumption or control, making clothing and self expression a tool for reinforcing subordination.
