All I needed to see was the title of the article and I knew my Anne Bancroft wardrobe would not fit, would not work, as I may appear over-dressed, and the wardrobe might want a lythe socialite to go out on the town with.
The article was wonderful and even mentioned feeling shame which I do!! All the money spent, most clothes not ever worn, and not finding a way to being Anne Bancroft’s twin.

Cringe. I see LA as a sexist place for a woman. So many double standards. But it is easy to see a hijab and say ‘they have less rights’ / ‘they are oppressed” while I cringe on TV seeing politicians trophy wives sitting in mini dresses, having to show off their beauty with waxed legs and high heels while their husbands sit in suits. And everything that came out of the Me too movement shows that Western countries aren’t the epitome of ‘female friendly’ while the Arab ‘world’ is usually deemed to be ‘backwards’. I’m not saying that Arab countries like UAE are perfect but I’m just sick of this black and white labelling. Many laws such as Arab women keeping their own stuff after marriage, not being a male’s possession and inheritance rights were established in the 7th century, which you couldn’t say for let’s say Western Christian England in the 18th century.
