Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I think in the States, and even in conservative areas, women do this for their own comfort: because people are taught to be ashamed of their bodies; because men stare inappropriately; because, as you say, they might be labeled; because they're afraid of being attacked.
It's probably usually for their own comfort, because our society is ill. The attacks don't always come from men, though; many women voted for Trump, which leads to your point.
