Why do women who dress sexy complain about being objectified?

By dress sexy I am talking about shirts that expose nipples cleavage or belly, tight yoga pants or tight pants in general where we can see camel toe and panty lines and short shorts where the ass cheeks hang out and shorts so tight we can see the outline of the vulva and panties. Or dresses and skirts that go far north of the knee. Also clicking (loud) boots and high heels draw attention as well. I dont get why women would dress sexy but want to complain about guys focusing on their bodies instead of their mind. Are they just saying that because people are afraid that admitting to wanting attention would make people think they are slutty or do they actually believe men are capable of not being blinded by female beauty when its on full display?

For the record I do not believe nor am I calling for women to not dress sexy or the way they want. Just frustrated with their reactions to men they come across when they dress that way.

Tight pants are practical. I'd dare to say in most cases it has nothing to do with the desire to look sexy, it's to feel comfortable when it's cold.
What kind of woman wears shirts that expose her nipples in public? Most don't. And if you have issues with it in homely environment then the problem is in you not in the woman. Nipples are a completely natural, normal part of a woman's body. Not extensions like push-up bras that try to draw attention. If they make you see women as objects then the problem is in you, not the women.

@CrazyMusicLover I dont have an issue with women dressing sexy. Just an issue with women dressing sexy then getting man when guys stare.

Also tight pants are not practical. I never would wear tight clothes. I wear baggy clothes because when I want to jump a fence to take a short cut I dont want to run the risk of my pants tearing. When I bend over I dont want my ass to show.

@ghostofapu
Tight pants or leggings are practical. They don't let the cold air between the fabric and your body. If you don't live in a cold climate you might have no idea. Also they are not supposed to tear when you bend or crouch since they should be made of elastic material.

@CrazyMusicLover I live in a hot climate and I know short shorts would get your legs burnt when you sit down anywhere outside
