Oh no - I disagree with that last point! I think that the whole discourse around clothes having to compliment a figure does tie in very strongly with control over women's appearance, and people should be allowed to wear what they want without people sniffing at them. I have a friend who used to go on at me about how a pencil skirt would be "flattering" on me, but since I like a-line or flared skirts, that's what I wear, and frankly I couldn't care less if it offends someone's sensibilities over what I "should" be wearing.
