RE: Women on UMaine campus should change their clothes

Gibson’s writing in The Campus is a letdown. The thoughts are bland and superficial, and I’m in awe that he’d want to share with everyone how lamely he writes.

You’ve seen those hideous generalizations – the ones that objectify women, and then tell them to not be objects. Did he write a good article? No, he just spit out garbage that I unfortunately read, and prolonged the misery of everyone at the university.

In all seriousness though, people will wear what they want to wear. I won’t argue that there aren’t fashion victims who prescribe to the attire that you oh so powerfully described, but your view is so skewed that my shattered faith in humanity was ground into dust. Get over yourself or become a lead fashion designer and make millions selling to people based on market trends.
