There's an Austin comedian named Leonarda Jonie who splits her time between telling jokes and telling inconvenient truths.
In light of the Shane Gillis controversy, what could be charitably called a "conversation" sprung up about what is and isn't appropriate in terms of how women dress, which modern culture would like to be the third rail of social commentary. You talk about it, and you become public enemy number one, unless your words are "Yas queen! Slay mamma! Empowered with her suns-out-buns-out shorts."
Leonarda, however, highlights a very brutal truth: Nature disagrees with modern culture, and yet modern culture has done a very good job of making women believe that nature obeys contextual borders where its rules apply, stop applying, or only apply in part based on where people are at any given moment.
This is how our modern culture has convinced so many women that it's okay to get practically naked or exposed in various ways and that people, especially men, should react as if they aren't. As Leonarda says, a decade or two ago, women wouldn't have even thought about leaving their house looking like many do now, but the window has shifted thanks to redefining, or actually denying, human nature.
Where she really starts to cook is when she brings up that the reaction to correctly pointing out natural facts should be knee-jerk accusations, and attempting to table-turn has been so driven into people's heads that an understanding of nature goes completely missed. Still, in the end, nature can't ultimately be denied.

I think that modern culture can be summed up pretty accurately as "Deny nature at all costs."
To be clear, this doesn't mean it wants us to all stop tree hugging, save the polar bears, and stop the glaciers from melting. They're all fine, by the way, but those are the parts of nature it wants you to worship — the pagan aspects.
No, the nature you're supposed to deny is God's programming of the human body. Just like a man can't be a woman, and vice versa, a man and a woman cannot deny the immutable aspects of our sexual natures.
As Leonarda correctly points out, men's bodies aren't inherently sexual, but women's are. An average man can stand buck naked in the middle of the street, and it will be greeted with a mixture of outrage and laughter. No matter what the reaction an individual might have, the overwhelming majority of people will receive it negatively. Men, in general, are not fun to look at. The exceptions you see on the silver screen, sporting events, or some modeling runways are a heavily utilized minority.
I'll never forget a woman who documented her journey to South Korea to find her a K-Pop-looking boyfriend, only to find the vast majority of men looked nothing like she saw in the music videos and magazines.
Women, however, are the opposite. Put an average naked woman into the middle of the street, and the reactions would be a lot more mixed and nuanced. The vast majority of men would not complain. They would look... a lot, even if they're trying not to. It'd be hard to stop the caveman part of our brain from dragging our eyes back to her. Pleasure neurochemicals would flow like a river, and she'd be reappearing in our memory for the next few days without our asking. Some men would be approaching her, attempting to talk to her, asking to take pictures with her, or even trying to convince her to go back to their place.
I know this because when I lived in Austin, this very thing happened. I was on 6th Street at night on a Saturday, and a very attractive blonde woman was walking around completely topless with the kind of breasts men would risk their lives for. Men were stopping and staring, taking selfies with her, and talking her up.
The women were not so receptive. Some were giggling and pointing, but most looked either incredulous or were shooting daggers at her as if they really hoped their looks could kill. It was the Sydney Sweeney response played out in real life before Sydney Sweeney ever became a thing.
The point here is that there are some facts we just can't get around. Women's bodies are inherently sexual. Men's bodies are not. Women's sexual attractiveness comes from cues their bodies give to the world, even if they're not meaning to. Men's sexual attractiveness comes from how many resources they're capable of securing from the world and how much protection they can provide.
This is why when a man takes his shirt off, it's not nearly the same as when a woman does it. Even the most toned and fit man who stands nude in the open won't receive half the eyeballs an average naked woman would get if she were standing next to him. The bodies are sending different signals and are serving different purposes.
This is why, when Gillis says "women are dressing like whores at the gym," he's 100 percent correct. Their butt is sending a different and far more powerful signal than the man's butt, and that signal is highly sexual in nature, whether she wants it to be or not.
The faster we understand and accept this, the faster men and women can truly start understanding each other and begin closing the gap that modern culture has done such a good job of widening.
