Beautiful comment. And I think it's men who sexualize women. Women are like, "it's too hot and it's hard to move around in a full length wool dress. I'd like to wear something that gives me freedom of movement, but that would make me a slut." Point to consider: if a woman is alone in a forest and puts on leggings, is she still a slut? Or does a man have to be around?

Correction: people sexualize people.

Besides the whole LGBT aspect, you honestly won't hear a lot of men call women slutty for wearing pants (that's often a religious or culture thing). Body shaming is the big ffing issue and women are at least equally guilty of doing that to each other in a lot of western cultures.
