To wonder if skirts are inherently misogynistic and objectify women...

[Oakenbeach]

... and that women who continue to wear them are perpetuating the notion, albeit mostly subliminally, of a man’s entitlement to easy and unimpeded “access” to women.

True, but you dug up an 8 year old grave to say this 😳.

Oh God….

AFAIK Western Women have worn skirt, dress type clothes since classic times. What has happened is they have become shorter, this happened notably in the 1920's when women became more socially and financially emancipated after WW1. The length of skirt has varied a great deal since then mini to maxi and everything in-between. Men are hardwired to assess women's bodies ( as are women with men, only usually not so blatantly) so men will look at women regardless of what they wear. For instance up until the 1920s a glimpse of a women's ankle from under her long skirt was enough to send men into paroxysms of lust! Trousers, leggings can also not leave much to the imagination. However women should dress as they please and men should objectify quietly and discreetly 😁

Kilts are a Victorian invention mostly worn at weddings and by tour guide operators. But you are right you wouldn't refer to it as a 'skirt'.

Very true however the crimes of assault on women has not diminished in that time, l personally believe it has increased 😞 😢

Leggings, a size too small?
