Another interesting one from AskMetaFilter: What would women wear if men didn’t exist? I disagree with the commenter who was insulted at the assumption that all women dress for men. I think it’s quite obvious that we do. Even if you honestly, truly don’t care what the world thinks of you, every bit of clothing you own is part of a fashion culture designed by (mostly) men for hundreds of years. Just try to find a pair of women’s jeans that don’t emphasize your bum or your hips, I dare you! So yeah, if all the men disappeared tomorrow I’d live in my sweatpants and T-shirts… but if they never existed in the first place? Who knows what we’d be running around in. (Sports bras. Definitely sports bras.)
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
