Contrary to the view that Klemesrud is cultivating here, the return to more fashionable dressing than what we saw ten years ago is occuring in both sexes. People--men and women alike--are just dressing better. Frankly, I know very few women who feel a sense of relief "now that they are being told they're sex objects again," as one feminist psychologist, Dr. Phyllis Chesler, seems to believe...
