Some posters have conflated the idea of tznius by women, which includes not drawing attention to oneself, and tznius by men. While men are also supposed to be humble and unassuming, lacking in this area relates to bad middos, not a violation of halacha. Women, however, are in violation of halacha if their clothing or actions draw attention to themselves, just as if they would be wearing inadequate clothing, as is evident from the amorah who tore off a woman’s coat because it was red (berachos 20).
