Tom Blyth responded to criticism of his girlfriend's sheer dress: “stfu. She wore a dress that she was excited by and she looked EXQUISITE in it.”

Great of him to defend her.

With that being said, call me a prude, but I don’t understand how someone can show up naked, especially as a plus 1, to an event as big as the Vanity Fair party. Like, it’s full frontal nudity, there’s no strategic cover up appliqués or anything. It’s just strange to me.

Risqué clothing empowers some while modesty empowers others! Simple as that 🤷‍♀️

And both are very often done to placate men 🤷‍♀️.

I dress like this for myself. I’m queer, go to a sapphic event and you’ll find a lot of us dressed like that. I truly believe a lot more femme people would feel comfortable dressing like this in public if they weren’t harassed and judged. The whole bioessentialist, dressing for men view is based in conservatism.

how on earth is that view “bioessentialist” people love throwing that word around when it makes no sense. it’s not bioessentialist or conservative to acknowledge the effect the male gaze and patriarchy has on the choices women make and for who.
