Yes. And it’s disappointing that the assumption is that all women want to look this very certain way, and no challenge to that assumption at all. This is part of why fashion turns me off. Who gives a fuck what someone else wears? If they’re wearing it then clearly they like it, leave them alone.

Sometimes it’s a transgressive thrill to wear clothes that are actively unflattering. The idea we, as women, are supposed to want to look appealing under all circumstances is so ... just taken for granted. Especially if you’re usually read as conventionally attractive, it feels kind of amazing to go “fuck you, I’m…

YES. THANK YOU. I dress like this, why? Because I actively do not want people ogling me and staring at my goods.

I just want to say that I have worn a number of dresses that look very similar to the ones pointed out in this article and Ellie sees me every day and now I understand her blank smiles
