what should women be allowed to do without being judged?

Be comfortable in clothing.

I’m a guy and I mostly go after comfort and keep it reasonably fashionable ie. Plain Tshirt, track or jeans and a pair of sneakers and you can basically wear that anywhere to everything and look decent but from what I have experienced through SO’s or family and friends is just that being comfortable and fashionable as a lady…it’s a bit harder.

Side note: Male formal shoes are way more comfortable than any heel or pump. This is the world we live in people.
