Journalist K.C. Cole wrote a very thoughtful piece about clothing and feminism in Sunday's Los Angeles Times. Like so many women, Cole wonders if it's okay to go sleeveless if one has less than perfectly toned arms. She asks, "Is bare arms one of those feminist dilemmas? Or is it more a matter of simple vanity versus sweltering heat?" This leads to her thinking that covering up for the rest of one's life is "unacceptable." She lets readers know that fashion's and society's rules are not simple to interpret as a feminist, and that "Feminists want to look good too." I strongly urge you to read the entire column; Cole makes a lot of good points.
