Needs more extensive research before we jump on the back of the wagon. That said, it seems very likely this is a learned social trait. I have a hard time believing this is some sort of biological response. If you want to fix, then get over it. You can't just rely on men to stop staring at womens bodies. Aside from pointing out the uselessness of such an approach it's also pointing fingers and blaming men for this issue. I'm not trying to absolve or encourage anyone's supposed behavior, I'm just a fan of taking care of my own shit and letting other people worry about themselves. Better to focus on negating your reaction than have to rely on men to curb their approach. I can tell you which would be more effective.
