“Do women dress for men or women? Iâ€™ve always wondered why that eternally provocative question is put in terms of approval - as if the heart of the matter, the answer, were indeed a question of approval by either sex. But the question is never satisfactorily answered because it is incorrectly posed. Itâ€™s disapproval, the fear of it, that motivates most women, and with disapproval it doesnâ€™t matter where it comes from.”
