It's a lack of self respect. And if you lack self-respect, how can you have any respect for others?
As for the sexism point. It's how the world works. Sometimes, women have the upper hand, sometimes men do. Men are called players, when they sleep around a lot. Women are called sluts.
It's the mind set of people. There are many prejudices against men too.

Whoops, sorry, didn't see you addressed the point about men.
There are many prejudices against men, but - funnily enough - most of those prejudices are against men who don't want power. The system is created in a way so that it constantly pushes the idea that men should constantly be in control - the all-powerful being with his harem of whores. A man isn't manly enough by not having enough sex. A man is considered weak by the size of his schlong. A man is consider feminine if he doesn't want control.
Whereas with women, we're just dogs.
Personally, I think the only way to fight the system is to change one's own mindset. If you realize that calling a woman a slut is wrong for your own prejudices, then maybe it's time to think about how you've been raised to think. Maybe it's time to stop thinking women are sluts based on the way that they dress.
Also, for the women who walk around topless... There are so many cultures and identities that involve toplessness that it's really hard to say that every single woman who walks around without a shirt on lacks self-respect. There are so many cultures that both of us don't know anything about. I personally think it's disrespectful for either one of us to say that it's wrong without really know what we're talking about.
