"they didn't even wear pants back then!" "you can't do anything in a skirt!" "we have more practical clothing now, like jeans!" "modern women are sexy AND comfortable in jeans!" "school bans skirts to be gender neutral!" "hampered by their long skirts, women in the past couldn't-"
biting you killing you maiming you biting you
we fought for the right to choose pants if we wanted to. pants are NOT some Inherently Superior Garment, and skirts aren't Inherently Oppressive. goddamnit, our ancestors did not struggle the way they did for more bullshit prescriptivism and erasure of their lived realities
(spoiler: they COULD function in long skirts! it's not that hard! obviously pants are better for some very specific tasks but like. full goalie gear is better for some tasks, too!)
“I’m wearing a white lace top that was thrifted and a blue velvet skirt that was thrifted as well. I also have some black platform boots. What currently inspires my style is the love of textures and the ability to freely express myself through clothing. It is something I am new to. Experimenting with textures is fun and helps channel my creativity in a new way.”
