I hate to go into animal instinct again, but women presenting themselves in an attractive way is simply how our species shows off fitness. Both sexes have something like this. Women dress up, wear makeup, and are very self conscious about other females because they are the competition. Men try to act like badasses, try to act indifferent (showing that we have plenty of girls after us so YOU want us), and do general "manly" things. I don't think any of this will change.

I do think reality TV and horrible music videos have killed a lot of progress that women have made in terms of being seen in equal standing as men. It's one thing to do what you gotta do to "find a mate", but that doesn't mean we can't treat women like people. I feel like we have regressed.
