I strongly suspect women comment on men's style of dress to a much greater degree. I confess to having very strong opinions on my husband's when we met (gingers really don't look good in bright green, orange or red) which he complied with. I now see the inequality here. https://twitter.com/mumbogumshoe/status/1055472378120228865 …

I take the feminist complaint not to be about men and women in a context in which comments on clothing might be appropriate (e.g., dating, married, parent and child, best friends), but about contexts in which comments are less appropriate (e.g., coworker, stranger).

My (feminist) complaint is that too often discussion about a woman’s dress or image supplants actual discussion about their work or platform, and that happens less frequently than with men. See: female politicians.

I do see this but I also think news outlets are marketing to an audience and it probably isn't men who want to know where the high-powered woman had her hair done or who designed her dress.

I would say that *when* men comment about a woman's style, it's often not just aesthetic or even a judgment about social conformity/respectability, but also highly sexualizing. In a bad way. Queer Eye-ing being the exception but that can also be power-driven and degrading.

I think that is certainly the assumption but I'm not sure it is warranted very often.
