Women dress to impress other women, not to impress men. Okay sometimes they want to impress men, or a specific man, but they don't want any bother from the men they are not trying to impress. If that sounds like they are trying to have their cake an eat it then I'd suggest re-assessing your viewpoint. They should have that right.
I think that blaming the porn industry or the fashion industry for male sexual harassment makes no sense. Men were harassing women long before those industries existed. In fact women have demonstrably had a much harder time of it in history than they do now. Like blaming TV and video games for violence, as though it had never occurred to anyone to use violence before they were invented.
It is always going to happen to an extent and legislation will not prevent it just like it does not prevent robbery or drug dealing or drink driving. The best we can hope for is that there is maintained a climate where it is culturally unacceptable, since that at least will deter the majority of potential offenders. I think we do have that climate currently, at least in the West.
