Gettin' All Philosophical-Like
Yesterday MegaStyles was issued a challenge from Mick at
Manhattan Transfer
about the role of fashion in evolution. The challenge concerns a post
at 2blowhards
about scientists, evolution, and the karmic purpose
of push-up bras. MegaStyles responds:
Many valid points in this post.
Fashion is about self-expression but
definitely status as well. However, while there is a certain
logic about fashion existing
to prove a woman's fiscal fitness, I have to agree with many of the
post comments: most men are largely oblivious
about women's clothes and can't tell a Gucci T from a Gap equivalent
to save their life. Fashion is a way for both sexes to
flaunt their physiques, but creates
a social, fiscal hierarchy between women, with men mostly
out of the loop.
Should I score a Birkin bag, I'll gush to my girlfriends,
not my date.
That said, a girl's place within the women's social hierarchy can
give her greater allure and access to alpha males. So
fashion can work as a sexual selection tool, albeit indirectly.
Ya hear?
