"Boys/men are not responsible for how they behave! Girls/women must all adapt to be responsible for them instead!"

Although to be fair, a great deal of female fashion is specifically designed to draw attention to, and objectify, certain body areas over others. You don't see clothes for boys and men that expose the body in that fashion. Indeed, their clothes tend to be more baggy and shapeless. But that's just another facet of the same problem, I suppose.
