    Why do you think style changes over time, and has accelerated with television and advertisements? We are all being made to buy and wear something, be it to follow the advertisement “this is the must to wear of the season”, or to oppose consumerism.

    So if we can now agree that there is no real free choice, and every choice is to some degree influenced by patriarchy, where do we stand? Does feminism even exist? Or is feminism less about what you wear, and more about how you feel about patriarchy?

      It’s not even close to the same thing… Or is there an entire purity culture around fashion where people straight up murder their children because they didn’t wear the newest jeans?

        I am sure nobody ever committed suicide because they were bullied because of their clothing
