over the years, the great majority of men have suecessfully resisted all attempts to make them change their style of dress, the same cannot be said of women. each year. a few so called "top designers" in paris and london lay down the law and women the whole world over rush to obey. this year,they decide in their arbitrary fashion, skirts will be short and waists will be high; zips are in and buttons are out. next year the law is reversed and far from taking exception, no one is even mildly surprised.

　　if women are mercilessly exploited year after year, they have only themselves to blame, because they are afraid of the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion. they are annually blackmailed by the designers and the big stores. clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be discarded because of old fashion. when you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe packed full of clothes and announcing that she has nothing to wear.changing fashions are nothing more than the deliberate creation of waste.many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that haw hardly been worn.women who cannot afford to discard clothing in this way,waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have.fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability. they are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, providing they look charming and attactive.

　　when comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusion to be drawn is obvious. do the constantly changing fashion of women`s clothes reflect basic qualities of fickleness and instability? do men`s unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? this is for you to decide.
