[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let women wear what they want. I agree that it’s a slippery slope when we start policing women’s bodies.

BUT. What smart women know is that what they wear and how they carry themselves is a signal of their class, and people pick up on this either consciously or subconsciously.

I was always told to dress for the life and job I want. I know that going out in public in ruched butt leggings will turn a lot of heads. But not the right kind of heads. I knew I wanted an upper class life style, husband, career, and on the whole, this requires a certain look. It’s not about how much money you spend on clothing. I could go to Walmart and put together a classy outfit. Women need to be more perceptive about this. You can’t dress like a tramp and then wonder to all your followers on social media why you can’t find a man to respect you these days. Look the part, act the part, win the prize.

And BTW, I’m a Democrat and atheist, FWIW. [/quote]

Exactly. It's a trashy look to wear underwear in public. However, no one is saying we should be policing women's bodies -- we have a right to judge each other. That's part of being human.[/quote]

Just out of curiosity, can you all explain how clothing = bodies in the “policing women’s bodies” phrase that keeps getting trotted out?  If a store turns away a shirtless man are they “policing men’s bodies” or just enforcing a dress code (ie policing clothing)?

I sincerely don’t get it.[/quote]
