Is the amount of self-respect and confidence a woman display tied to how much skin she shows or doesn't show?

Frequently on these types of forums talk come about women who dress minimally such as:

That these women and some that even wear less, leave nothing or very little to the imagination. That their motivation for doing so has to be:
• They lack self-esteem and are crying for attention.
• They are hoochie and just low class.
• They are acting out because they were abuse at some point in their history.
• They are desperate.
• They lack self-respect

And I am sure there are a few more. If that logic is the logic of the day wouldn’t women who leave everything to the imagination be the most self-confident less desperate of them all? If women dressed like:

In the burka or Abaya are the women not really at a disadvantage but having the advantage? She controls how much a man or anyone see. She will not have men talking to her chest, staring at the ”junk in her trunk” or ogling her silky smooth gams. That is if the more skin a woman shows the less confident and respect she has for herself or does the amount of skin a woman shows really have little to do with how much she respects herself or her confidence?
