A third point I forgot to mention:  the hypothetical woman wearing the 
sexy clothes has, most likely, been told (implicitly or otherwise) that
wearing such clothes is the best way to get a guy (of course, she knows
this is the most important thing in life :-( ).  Then you turn around
and tell her, no, this is wrong and you will get raped, but it's her
fault if she does.
