A person here thinks so, but I do not.
And these sparkley brooches do not offend me - though tis better to get them from ebay.
The thing is, you can still be a feminist and enjoy being female.
And if you think we got a patriarchy cos men wear suits I am sorry but it is a little more complicated than that.
HOWEVER. If you wear clothes that make you feel disempowered then you are disempowered.
If you wear clothes that make you feel like you are a sex object, (and you do not want to be one), wear different clothes.
I think that to dress as a post-feminist you dress according to what helps you carry on your life as you want to.
If people objectify you in a way which you do not want, then this is them doing wrong, not your clothes.
Just one more point before I go .. I think it is a quite powerful thing to do, to dress in a sassy, feminine way, to act assertively and intelligently, and show that being a woman is a multi dimensional (not to mention wonderful) thing.
Carrie from Sex and the City is a case in point who one minute is in an uptown chic suit, next thing dressed , well, sexily. And that image of her writing, using her aptly named Apple Powerbook in every show, is her, writing out her life, being subject not object, and very powerful indeed.
And I think that is all I have to say about post-feminist fashion.
