Why are muslim women allowed to look at unveiled men?

Perhaps men would also have to veil themselves if they faced the same risks that many women do. However, outside of prison, "unveiled" men are not usually subject to harrassment, molestation or rape (God forbid), and if they are it is hardly ever by women. Sadly, the reverse cannot be said for "unveiled" women.
Like many rules in islam, this one is preventative. Its a "safet first" type mentality.
Sure it is slightly oppressive to women, just as seat belts are oppressive to people riding in cars, however it is for a greater good.
