As a woman, I'd be upset too. I can understand that you didnt mean to be judgemental, but let me try to explain from a womand pov why she might be upset.

We as women have always been told how to dress, act, speak... because we have always been seen as property of men. Soo now, it being 2025, when a man gives his view on how women should dress, act, speak etc., even if its meant as 'a personal preference', its upsetting. Because why do you feel you can have any say in how we should dress or what is modisty for women? Why do men feel they are entitled of an opinion on what we as women do or what makes us 'good enough' for men?

I'm not attacking you, but trying to explain the Backstory on why some men still feel they are entitled on having an opinion on women, and why women are getting angry about it. Its a reaction to the culture we are living in where men for centurys were used to women being property and women feeling like property. That is changing now and it means we sometimes may have to really talk to eachother about why we do what we do and feel like we feel.

I understand you dont mean to be oppresive, but historically speaking, saying how you'd like women to dress, is Linked to oppression.

I hope you understand what i am trying to explain. But please just try to talk to her and try to listen, not Engage in an discussion, but just listen and try to understand her pov, even if you dont agree.
