I would say take a look at the article

I’m responding to, but I refuse to tell people to give pageviews to a scum article like that. If you’d prefer to read it, go for it, but I will be going over what was said in the article while I explain why it is absolute garbage.

This week there was an article making its way around my Facebook (luckily, mostly in angry reactions) about how women should put more clothes on in their social media posts. If you’re like me, you immediately scoffed at that ridiculous sentiment right off the bat because of the day and age we’re in where we promote body positivity and the right to choose how you -dress your own body. As much as I was crossing my fingers that the article would be a satirical article, I can’t say I was entirely surprised that it wasn’t. This article berates women for wearing what they please in their social media posts and "bothering" the writer when she goes on social media.

I know what you’re thinking: “If you don’t like what you see, just unfollow those people,” but the writer seems to think you can only unfollow one person a day because she claims that just because she unfollows one, this doesn’t mean she can escape the raunchy photos of everyone else. I’d also like to point out that you don’t sign a contract when you’re squeezed out of your mother saying that you promise to be on every social media when you grow up. There’s one very simple solution if you can’t master the unfollow button: delete your account.

Let’s get into my favorite part of the article. This author, to make her point, uses… wait for it… the disapproval of one’s boyfriend as a repercussion for women to keep in mind. No, I’m not joking, as much as I wish I was. Ladies: don’t date a man (or another lady for that matter. Let’s not forget that not every female out there wants to date a man.) if he or she is going to make you feel bad for how you choose to dress. We’ve come very far as a society in recognizing that women don’t need the approval of a man to live a successful and happy life, so I’m surprised we’re still finding people making the “but how will your boyfriend feel?” argument. As long as you’re dressing for yourself, and not others outside of the relationship, there shouldn’t be an issue. If you’re dating someone who makes you feel bad for dressing in a way that makes you feel good about yourself, do yourself a favor and get a different partner. Or stay single, because you don’t have to live your life chasing your next relationship.

I will give her credit in saying companies will check your social media. That’s not a lie, and you do have to be wary of what is easily seen by the public. The beauty of a rapidly expanding social media is the development of ways to hide certain things from the public. If you want to post photos of yourself on Instagram wearing that bathing suit you rock, just make your Instagram private and keep the name you use on Instagram something that isn’t your legal name. Fun fact, most of the time they use a reverse image search for the profile photo on your professional connection account like LinkedIn to find other social media so you can make sure your profile pic on Instagram is different, as well.

Fret not, this girl is supportive of being body positive and dressing how you want as long as you do it in a classy way! Isn’t that great? ... Not. First of all, not everyone’s version of what is and isn’t “classy” isn’t always the same as another person. I once was told I was dressed inappropriately at a church retreat while I was wearing a scoop neck top that went up to my collarbone, and a pair of loose fitting jeans, even though I thought it was modest.

Basically, what I’m trying to say is you shouldn’t listen to people like this. If you’re dressing in a way that makes you feel confident and want to post about it on social media, go for it! Rock what makes you feel great.

So, in conclusion, “To Miss Keleman:” kiss our collective female, crop top wearing, bikini posting, asses.
