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.
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.
