your understanding of the concept of "force" is somewhat limited. we don't force women by law to expose increasingly more of their bodies, generation after generation, but they are compelled to do so, by the standards of female sexuality which are largely the result of masculine desires.

do we beat women for refusing to wear bikinis? no. do we call them "prudes" or "frigid bitches" when they complain about how they're being sexualized? do we use the media to reinforce negative stereotypes of such women, thus pushing them to conform to what we, as men, desire to see most?

oh, yes we do.

one causes a heat stroke, one doesn't

yes, and the other causes skin cancer. your argument seems to be "we might degrade women and treat them like sluts, but at least we don't beat them." not exactly a winner for equality, wouldn't you say?
