Gadolhadorah – men drawing attention to themselves or even acting inappropriately does not cause others to sin. I don’t have to get more explicit. I’m not blaming or shaming women, but there is a reason why we have tznius rules for women that have clearly defined boundaries.

You’re comparing 2 completely different things. Women wearing old, tattered clothes and acting inappropriately would fall under the same category as men doing the same. This still has nothing to do with wearing short skirts or tight clothes. They may be colloquially called “tzniyus”, but are very different. Embarrassing someone publicly is akin to murder, but is very different than pulling a trigger and shooting someone. Your argument is trying to make these 2 equal, when they are clearly not.
