Re: The right gown for the right occasion (none / 0)

I'm putting words into DoDo's mouth here, but I think he's saying that women are doing a good chunk of the enforcing in order to establish their own pecking order, but this ultimately works against their own interests.

you are the media you consume.

Re: The right gown for the right occasion (none / 0)

It's not a "type." Everyone does it to some extent or another. It's just that some recognize and admit it and want to avoid it and some don't.
