Put me on the list of those who think this incident is being blown all
out of proportion. I find it more than ironic that some are being
hyper-critical of what other are wearing. Is that not the same
judgmental attitude we find ourselves facing from society as a whole?
Why, then, are we turning on ourselves?
The woman in question at BB chose to wear something that made her feel
good about herself. It fit her correctly and was in good repair. Is it
something I would have worn to that venue myself? No, but so what? I
saw a lot of things there that evening that I would not choose to wear.
If you felt what she was wearing was disrespectful to the group, then
why in the name of all that is good did you not take her aside at the
time and voice your concerns privately? By waiting and doing so now in
this very public way is nothing short of cruelty, in my opinion.
To those who feel they have to be critical of others choices, perhaps
you need to learn how to be happier and more confident in yourselves.
If you can't, then maybe DLV is not the right fit for you.
