In the same way that dressing provocatively isn't an invitation for unwanted sexual advances, an avatar/sig that display some bit of sexuality are not a big red flag saying "please be vulgar around me."
Sorry, I disagree. The advance isn't wrong, taking it beyond that when told to stop is. A woman dressing provocatively is like any animal in the animal kingdom showing colors. It is done to get attention. If a woman doesn't want the attention, don't ask for it.
And regardless of if a person is wrong for acting on mixed signals, I don't think you find too many people that will feel sorry for the victim. Most people will reply that if you don't like it, don't be a tease.
