    There’s a world of difference between a complaint that acknowledges the privilege of even being in a position to complain about fashion and one which mistakenly or dishonestly mischaracterises what is wrong as something more severe.

    Imagine if I complained I was thirsty all the time because the local shop stopped stocking coke, and that I deserved to have something to drink. Wouldn’t you roll your eyes and tell me to drink water? Wouldn’t you react differently if I said I was bummed because the shop ran out of coke and I just wanted some? Being honest/aware of what the actual issue is makes all the difference.

      You really saw a problem that women were discussing and decided to put us all in our place.

      I’m so glad we have a man here to explain this to us. Whatever would we have done without you??

        I saw a problem being mischaracterised. I’m so sorry that I had the temerity to point out the choices available to you.

        Whatever would we have done without you??

        Continued to complain you “deserve pockets” that you absolutely can have.

        Take your horrible inaccurate assumptions somewhere else. I won’t be reading any replies.

          It’s clear you didn’t read any comments before adding your own, so not reading replies is exactly what I expect from you.
