I see nothing wrong with this girl

You would if you were her father. I must be getting old, but I actually have the urge to locate a blanket and give it to her.

^ Must be a cultural difference too.

Over here, if a woman dressed like that she would be setting herself up for abuse.

Sometimes clothing and make up make a women to look "Western" or "Eastern". Strange, but fact.

[Svarog]

Why'd she be abused?

I think clothes, hair and make-up can make a big difference generally, not just with "East" and "West", but also with countries, regions within countries and social classes.

But I still think there are distinctive phenotypical differences between NW, SW, NE and SE Europe. There are always exceptions to the rule though.

You mean the Muslim mindset has advanced to Australia as well already? In Sweden, Muslim immigrants think they have the right to rape white girls who dress scantily. They "deserve it".

You must be exaggerating. This woman is an actress, she lives for attention.

Men (and people in general) would assume that she is looking for cheap sex and/or sexual attention. And because she is dressed as though she has no moral decency nor integrity, men would likely have no respect for her...

Yes, you can find that in every anthropological book
