Women do need to use their brains and skills to impress men, but that doesn’t mean they should be restricted to wearing high collar shirts and long pants. Women need confidence, and looking pretty helps boost their confidence. I know that if I feel I don’t look good on a certain day, my confidence levels are really low.
Women should be allowed to wear pretty dresses and heels because they feel pretty in them. It shouldn’t be to show off their body to men, but to feel good about themselves. There is obviously a line between pretty and revealing, but if women don’t cross that line, they can be pretty and be respected by men at the same time.
There shouldn’t be restrictions to the way women dress. We shouldn’t have to feel like we have to be completely covered up in order to impress a man. And to really impress them, we have to have confidence, which includes our desire to look pretty.
Ah, I'm responding to all of your posts... I'm sorry. There are simply points in each of them upon which I wish to comment. In this one, I would suggest that women's reliance on looking pretty in order to be confident is, to a large extent, a result of society's attitude towards them; if society ceased to place such a high value on women's appearances, women would likely be able to be perfectly confident regardless of what they wore. Of course, the option to wear elaborate clothing would still be open, and there would be nothing wrong if women chose to take it; it is simply that their confidence would not rely upon that.
