] Yet, this is also true of these times. Take "jeans" for instance. In these parts they are worn very tight, specially by teenagers. Add a very low waist and you'll find nothing so uncomfortable. You cannot even sit down with those things on. When I was a teenager, many of my friends had to lie down in order to zip up their pants, and they did that as a matter of course. Then, what about high-heels? OK, one looks better in them, but they are really uncomfortable. And the same with miniskirts. And what about make-up? I know some women that spend one hour of every day getting ready to go out...to work. And they do that for beauty's sake.

Yes, but we choose to do so. Walking around in simple, comfortable clothes isn't unthinkable. A woman today can dress comfortably and still be a proper woman, even if she gets a few nasty remarks, she can do it. Victorian women couldn't.
