I like the clean cut, clean shaven, tie and suit look. Or just a collared shirt with a sweater and nice slacks. There's nothing that looks better to me. (Except maybe ...) I feel that advertising has a lot more to do with how men and women try to conform than feminism or patriarchy. Right now in the U.S. teenagers will pay more attention to the fads then they will to how good they look in something. But they also get a lot of peer approval for wearing faddish clothing. The way advertising controls people is a hard thing to break. And neither the federal or state governments are trying limit the manipulative ways of advertising. Just 2 more pence to the wind. Someone should be getting rich off this bboard. Andrea Gansley-Ortiz
