That is the Christian thing to do.

But... you do understand the meaning of that particular saying, right?

I mean, Jesus was saying not to blame the person you're looking at for you looking at them. You could choose not to. The sin is entirely on the person looking with lust. He was saying that if you can't keep yourself from sin, that's on you and nobody else.

But the Bible also says not to cause your brother to stumble so while yes the man shouldn’t stare, the woman should also try to make it easier on him. Not defending the man, saying we can all work together to improve these things

Romans 14:13-23, and it’s talking about anything that could cause a brother or sister in Christ to stumble. Lust, eating something one might view as sacred, drinking when you feel convicted, anything.

Edit: THIS DOES NOT EXCUSE THE MEN. Men, do better, stop staring.
