Lack of self-esteem causes criticism

Regarding the article concerning women's dress, I am almost tempted to think that the writer wants to revert back to pre-women's rights movement attire just to appease her lack of self-confidence.

More power to any woman that dares to wear revealing clothing. I mean, most of us women have so many issues with our body. I'm surprised that we're able to wear matching clothes because it only forces us to once again look in the mirror and not see that great pair of legs that we've been working out so hard for.

As far as a woman's reasoning behind what she wears, the writer obviously believes she received a degree in mind reading at the "cracked-out-school-of-people—with-major-insecurities." If a woman wears skimpy clothing to get a 4.0 in a class, then there's something wrong with the university for hiring such a professor, not the woman. She was just being smart and took advantage of the situation and you can't fault her for that.

Since the writer is keen on giving advice to other women, I have some for her: Check out the very large and in-depth self help section available in any bookstore because honey, it seems that the self-confidence that you're wearing is a little too skimpy. You're in the real world, not the beach.
