As I said, there is nothing offensive about noticing an attractive woman, I even admitted to doing it myself. But that doesn't, in any way, excuse the behaviour that motivated this discussion.

Even your bringing it up just distracts from the real issues, which are sexism, acceptance of potentially offensive actions, and the casual attitude with which those things are treated.
