[i recieved a notification that r/HonestHotTakes loved it somehow despite it having 0 updoots, and that i should be posting this in this sub as well]

i'v noticed it is very common for girls, even if underage(!) to wear tiny shorts as small as underpants, and shirts open with clevage
but it is extremely rare to see men wearing similiar clothes. from some reason to them it is considered "gay" or "sissy" or generally too indecent to wear such clothes.

why is that? don't we have gender equality?

the only logical explanation i found for why it's embarassing for men and ridiculious to wear revealing outfits but for women is promts "yaas queen, slay, dont let them tell you what to wear"
is simply because male-dominated corporations heavily invested into marketing and education for women to make them complecent and susptible to males' sexual desires.
They realized ANYTHING can be marketed -like even even cigarettes were branded as "torches of freedom" to entice women into smoking which was precieved as very unlady-like at the time.
and so they worked hard to build a decades long marketing campaign to convince women to dress according to the male gaze, while thinking they're "sticking it to the patriarchy". that's why so many female celebrities always appear in the most revealing outfits and do sexually suggestive dances - while they're just puppets of the male-dominated corporations that pay them, the same corpos then proclaim these puppets as exemplars of girl power and female empowerment.

i think it's time for women to wake up to this fact and not fall victim to societal preassure that was just artifically created by powerful men for their own selfish sake
