I remember reading the Instagram comments on a post about when she wore the dress at a show (the comments section on Instagram is always a nauseating cesspool) and so many people were proving her point here, that we (men) are so fucked that we can’t see a dress as a dress, it has to be something perverse or sinister. Not everything is a fetish exhibition, a performer wearing an outfit isn’t some Hollywood cabal humiliation ritual, and it’s soul crushing that a lot of us think like this all the time.
As someone whose formative years were in the 90s, I see absolutely nothing wrong with this dress. Pretty much every girl wore them growing up
Great dress style, great on her, she can wear whatever she wants, haters get bent.
Normalize? Isn’t the point that we are trying to get away from it? That rich men make money off of women in little girls clothes and selling them youth and beauty? I personally find adult women being infantalized, even by themselves, unappealing. And im not gonna be sorry for that lol. I dont expect her to be sorry for being herself if herself truly is someone who wears bloomers and a shirt as a dress. I just think in the current climate people are gonna have a lot of feelings about it the way they may not have pre metoo in the 1990s. To act like the time periods are at all the same is silly. Still, people said shit when she was dressed like an adult too so maybe commenting on dumb internet discourse is doing her more harm than good.
If this is what she was trying to do
> homage to the ’90s rock icons who inspired her.
She missed the mark
She’s a grown woman and should wear whatever she wants. If she likes the outfit, wear the damn outfit.
If wearing a babydoll dress is the worst thing she ever does in her life, she’s doing a helluva lot better than most people.
JFC. Wear what you like. The end.
I agree there can be a fine line with infantilization but two of the most fetishized garbs in the world are schoolgirl uniform and nun’s habit.
It doesn’t matter what women wear. Men will be creepin. Women will be objectified. And it most definitely isn’t the woman’s fault.
I dont understand her point, perhaps its due to a language barrier. So, people thinking the dress is wrong is because they have sexualized this when they shouldn’t? I am following?
as she actively normalizes it.
Yup. We live in a culture that normalizes predatory men then blame women for how they dress.
It’s just a dress.
Quit being so twitchy people, and let the artists wear what they want FFS. 🤦🏻♂️
JFC the fact that young people give this much of a shit about this is baffling. 15 years ago this would have been something creepy pundits on Fox News would have gotten up in arms about.
She had shorts on right? What am I missing
I think any one who was young in the 90’s is thinking of grown women when they see outfits like that.
This is what I keep trying to tell people who criticize my hat with the propeller on top.
Maybe it’s because my 30 year old wife has a dress or two like this but I really didn’t read her dress as childlike at all, at least intentionally. I don’t think this is a black or white issue but rather gray.
Now a short dress is news in the USA? JFC – pay attention to the literal destruction of your country.’
She is a performer wearing a costume, idgaf what she wears for her audience. I feel stupider being aware of this “controversy”.
hasn’t sabrina carpenter worn similar types of dress to this? I suppose they’re more of a lingerie style teddy but I swear I’ve seen her in similar short dresses too
Kathleen Hanna is a legend. There are worse people to imitate.
She’s wearing it to get attention.
Since is it a crime for a grown woman to wear whatever she wants? It’s a dress, they were huge in the 60’s. Stop infantilizing people goddam she’s a grown ass woman
Wouldn’t NOT saying anything about it be normalizing it?
