A man who happens to be looking in the direction of a woman whose skirt flies up due to a gust of wind, is bound to be judged unfavourably no matter what he does.
If he stares, he's a pervert.
If he blushes, he's a boy-child who needs to grow up.
If he grins (even to show solidarity in a 'shit-happens-eh' manner), he's a creep.
If he averts his eyes, she thinks he thinks she's not attractive.
If he turns away, she begins to wonder just what he saw that made him take so drastic an action.
If he has no reaction at all, he's a jerk. Or gay.

You would expect guys to stare, right, it's almost like the done thing. Bonus points if they actually manage to look embarrassed. On the other hand, if they whistle..
