i’m about to graduate with a masters in history and that is extremely untrue. the RICH dressed well, and they were forced to by the patriarchy. the poor and middle class, the MAJORITY, dressed normally in ways your judgemental ass would be horrified by. women are not here to be visually pleasing. we get dirty and work hard and dress comfortably because we’re human. believe it or not women have always had more pressing issues than dressing ‘decent’ for men.
