I was so excited to see a fun article in the NY Times yesterday discussing how fabulous dresses are, and how un-fabulous self-professed fashion pundits are for saying dresses are going to be a no-go in a few months. I mean - fun clothing + a swipe at elitists should normally make for a good read. Unfortunately, the article was written by a man. "How Strange!", you may be saying. "Why would a man, who most likely, is not a regular dress wearer, be talking up the pleasure of it?" Those are very good questions.
It looks like the answer is that said author enjoys staring at women like we are little dolls roaming the earth for his amusement with our fascinating little outfits.

Well, there are fashions I like to wear and fashions I like to look at (but would never wear). Is it sexist of me to have fashions and looks I prefer to see on others -- particularly others I find attractive -- but do not feel appropriate for me to wear myself?
Mind, I haven't read the article; maybe it's dripping with piggery. But if it's just an article going "WOO HOO DRESSES," written by a man, perhaps he just has firm ideas about opp-gender fashion without it necessarily being 'objectification'.
