> I have seen an article where someone was literally quoted as saying "A woman should be able to walk naked down the street and be safe from rape." Is it okay for men to wander the streets naked?

It (was) fairly okay in San Francisco. There was even a hubbub about how nudist men were taking over a shiny new parklet a few years back. The city passed an ordinance, but I don't think any of them were too worried about getting raped.

(Note: You moved the goalpost from "safe from rape" to "is it okay".)

I noticed that too. Maybe the correct point to make is this: how is wandering the streets (almost) naked, or with the most provocative choice of clothing one could make, not considered in itself sexual harassment?

One of the sexual harassment complaints against Mariah Carey was:

> Mariah asked him to come to her room to move some luggage; when he got there, she was allegedly wearing a see-through negligee that was open
