It is heartbreaking how even in the 21st century, women are judged and shamed for the clothes that they chose to wear. Recently, The First Lady Of the US, Dr.Jill Biden, wife of President Biden, came off of Air Force One wearing a black skirt and black tights that had a design on them. Calling her tights – “fishnet stockings,” which they weren’t, many conservative men came forward to shame the first lady for wearing something they didn’t like.
From reminding of her age and telling her clothes inappropriate, many men thought it was their birthright to school Dr. Jill on what a woman in 70s can/ can’t wear:

Many progressive minds came forward in Jill’s support and told people to mind their own business

Whether it’s Greta Thunberg, AOC, First Lady Dr. Jill Biden, or countless others… Conservatives are really triggered by intelligent independent women, aren’t they?

Honestly, if you’re more offended by FLOTUS wearing fishnets than the (former) President mocking disabled people then you are the problem. #JillBiden #flotus pic.twitter.com/JHuKIDPr08

Thanks to FLOTUS and the nervous breakdown of conservatives we now know that wearing patterned tights is an act of resistance.

As we stand with Dr. Jill, we want to send across a loud and clear message to society: “WOMEN CAN WEAR WHAT THEY WANT. IT’S THEIR BUSINESS, NOT YOURS!” Don’t forget to let us know your thoughts!
