I'd prefer the honesty. Maybe if people just said, "like a whore" is a bit harsh, we just like looking sexy.
It's all tiring:
Intentional (or not) misunderstanding of what he was talking about
Ignoring the whole thing about recording selfies
Bringing up 80s leotards worn OVER tights
Saying people aren't wearing that
They can't say it's for looking hot and showing off your ass because then people would say, then don't complain when people look your way. Because many turn a look into an "assault" and then play victim.
Honesty will set them free.
