I'm not sure how padded pushup bras, glossy lips, and tight fitting clothes became "largely expected". I don't think any father or husband pushes the women in their lives to do this, so I have to assume it's done by women for their own reasons.

I like to think of women as intelligent people so I assume they are aware of what they are doing.

You are aware when your coworker wears a padded pushup bra? Are you measuring her breasts? I'm so confused by your statements.

>I like to think of women as intelligent people so I assume they are aware of what they are doing.

Uhhh, I think we found the problem, and it's you.

No, that's an absurd characterization of your perspective, one in which the entirety of your dismissal of female agency and equivalence as individuals is minimized in order to treat them like walking sex objects whose primary function is to make you horny. It's called projecting.
