I don't know.  Those women look decidedly unattractive in those pants  :laugh1: ... I think that few men would experience temptations against purity there.  Of course, it would still be wrong in principle.

It's not about objective temptations against purity. It's about tempting men to have temptations. It's about taking them by the hand and leading them to thoughts of your butt and crotch. It's the thought that counts.

XSPX as recently as 2015:
An even further consideration for men and women is to dress properly according to their nature, or respectively, according to their masculinity or femininity. For men, this means they should not wear tight-fitting clothes or in general, go shirtless in public (especially for fathers, even around the home in front of their children).

For the ladies, to dress like a man (such as wearing pants) is improper and contradicts a woman’s God-given femininity. That this is not merely an “old fuddy duddy’s” quibble, should be evident when we realize that the proponents of unisex clothing have also been the same “gender theory” people behind the promotion of sins against nature.

It is interesting to note that the “Lion of Campos”, Bishop de Castro Mayer, once famously remarked in a pastoral letter that he would prefer a woman to wear a mini-skirt rather than pants. For while the mini-skirt was immodest, it was at least feminine, while pants contradicted a woman’s nature (thus the former attacked the senses, while the latter warped the intellect).

Therefore, so-called “woman’s pants” (usually worn out of pleasure or commodity) are not the proper garb of a Catholic (or Marian-like) girl or lady, either in the parish, domestic or social life."

You are wrong.
When God asks you why you had this or that bad thought, do you think He will accept "but she dressed provocatively "?  No.
Free will demands that we control ourselves in all things.

It most certainly makes a difference! 
We're talking about casual glances here, not leering. If the breasts aren't exposed for example, men don't have to be confronted with the choice "consent or do not consent", "enjoy or do not enjoy". Once the breasts are exposed for all to see, then each and every man within visual range must test his virtue.

Women are not guiltless when they cause men to have to test their virtue. You can pass the buck all you want "that's his problem". 

God will judge. Try to quiet your conscience all you want.

When women dress provocatively they sin by their own free will.  But in no way are they culpable for a sin a man commits as a result unless their goal was to entice a man to commit sin. 
Women are culpable for a man's sin if they dress provocatively, not to the degree of the man, but not too far behind. It is the same as  a man flashing his $100 bills in a bad neighborhood bar.
