If women are exploited (剥削) year after year, they have only themselves to blame. Because they shake at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman can stand in front of a wardrobe packed full of clothes announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.

Changing fashions is nothing more than the creation of waste on purpose. Many women spend too much money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time changing the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; necklines are lowered or raised, and so on.

No one can declare that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are seldom concerned with important things like warmth, comfort and durability. They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn't at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or picking her away through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.

When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashions of women's clothes, one wonders, show basic qualities of inconstancy and instability (不稳定*)? Men are clever enough not to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress show basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide.
