Women who wear revealing clothing do invite sexual advances. However, as with most other arguments, the one I am making here must be qualified.
Besides the possibility that a woman simply likes to wear revealing clothing, there are three other likely possibilities:
1) This clothing signals to men (or other women) the wearer's sexual availability.
2) Should the wearer be romantically involved with someone else, then her clothing is an attempt to hold the physical interest of her significant other.
3) The clothing symbolizes to the wearer herself her degree of sexual autonomy.
Generally speaking, men see possibility #1 as the most likely explanation for why women wear revealing clothing. Furthermore, possibility #2 is really nothing more than possibility #1 for an audience of one. As for possibility #3, the following question must be asked: why would a woman choose revealing clothing as a symbol of her sexual autonomy? I can only see one possible answer to this question: it is an effective means to express her sexual autonomy, as such clothing allows her to attract men/women and to choose among them that individual (or those individuals) that she herself finds sexually attractive. Ultimately then, possibility #3 is, like possibility #2, nothing more than possibility #1, albeit phrased in the manner of a sex-positive feminist.
So, save for the possibility that a woman likes to wear revealing clothing for its own sake, it logically seems to be the case that revealing clothing is supposed to be a means to elicit sexual advances. But, as I said before, this statement must be qualified; "advances," rather than "sexual," is the word that should be emphasized here. In the Western world of today, free sex between consenting adults is produced just as if it were a commodity: one of the adults signals to potential partners their sexual availability, and the potential partner who puts forward the most acceptable sexual advance (if there is any) gets to have sex with the signaler. Although some, if not most, sexual advances will be unacceptable to the signaler, this does not mean that it is wrong to make one; rather, what is wrong is assuming that the signaler has a need rather than an interest in having sex, and that your advances must automatically be rewarded.
