    Even if we take the premise that woman judge other women for their daily wear for true I would not blame the women.

    As far as I can see it’s taught to young girls to judge other people by their daily wear. It’s the system itself that enforces that belief that should be judged IMHO. And again IMHO that is not a gendered issue. This image gets reinforced by men and women alike.

      It’s basically classism. It’s what upper class people have done for centuries at parties to identify which family has become poorer. Then this behavior seeped into the middle class through the media. Since gossip rags would judge celebrities based on their outfit. And middle class people copy that behavior to seem more upper class.

      Who is teaching them that?

        Shitty magazines like cosmo and teen people for one. All those weird fashion blogs and celebrity media bullshit. Plus all the ethically dubious ways fashion brands market their products to get people to buy more clothes.

        Then it’s reinforced by their peers and sometimes family.

        Sadly marketing and advertising has steered cultural norms for way longer than it should.

        Their mothers in my experience. Then their friends when they get older. It’s really awful TBH.

        The mothers… Then other girls.

        Nature is competition, humans aren’t immune.(Or nearly as evolved as we think we are). Women historically haven’t been allowed physical competition so they found other ways to decide hierarchy.
