I love Letizia's outfit. I think it's wonderful to see a Queen wearing pants. Letizia has a slender body and looks very good in pants. I think far more modern Royal women should wear pants, especially for everyday and business wear.
I think dresses and skirts are limiting and the fact women feel compelled to continue to wear them and high heels can be attributed to sexism and discrimination.
I despise the fact that women are held to a different standard than men regarding dress, and that they feel compelled have a far more extensive wardrobe than men and to kit themselves out in accordance with the latest fashion and spend hours and fortunes in the clutches of hairdressers and "beauticians", or to do all this stuff to themselves. The beautician's task it is to make the skin look artificially young and to then to paint it with colours to make the skin look smooth and evenly coloured and make their eyes look seductively larger and sexier and paint their lips to darken them to a colour that connotes sexual arousal. This is all the result of the pressures and expectations placed on women by our still male-dominated society. And I particularly lament the fact that it is other women who most vehemently disparage women if they fail to conform to these standards and dare to march to the beat of a different drummer. Such individuality is threatening and not welcome.
Yes, I am one of
those feminists.
Yay, Letizia and all other Royal women who dare to wear pants.
