000646, we are not so concerned with a woman’s thoughts, al pi halacha. To be more clear, if a man wears shorts halfway up his thighs, although it’s not ‘bakavadik’ it’s not an issur. Now, if a woman wore a skirt halfway up her thigh, it’s totally assur. However, it’s the opposite with hirhurim. If a man thinks about a woman, it’s a big halachik no-no; if a woman thinks about him, although she should try to have purer thoughts, she won’t get an actual aveira. In other words, a man shouldn’t dress a certain way but he’s allowed to and a woman shouldn’t think a certain way but she’s allowed to. A woman is forbidden to dress a certain way and a man is forbidden to think a certain way.
