    The document discusses how during the Victorian Era in the 19th century, women were expected to dress modestly in clothing like long dresses, corsets, and petticoats. They also had limited roles focused on their husbands and children. Some argue this level of control over women by men still exists today, as seen in a viral tweet showing a man clamping his girlfriend's blouse for being too revealing. The document advocates for women's empowerment and their right to dress as they choose, noting that the 21st century is not a revival of the restrictive Victorian Era for females.

    VICTORIAN ERA IN THE 20TH CENTURY

    By Darlene Adoremos

    During the early 19th century, women would wear dresses which skirts are long enough to reach
    their ankles and sleeves that extend to the palm of theirs hands. Inside these dresses were corsets
    to humbly exaggerate the shape of their bodies, bustles to emphasize their lower backs, and
    petticoats worn as undergarments for the long skirt. This type of fashion is famously known to be
    the “Victorian Era”. Since women were required to wear these types of traditional clothing, they
    were also expected to act conservatively. The roles of women on this era were limited to 2 – to
    keep their husbands happy and to tend their child/ren.

    Hence, we are now in the 21st century, where men still enjoy the fact that they can control
    women, what they wear, what they put on their faces, and who they communicate with. Doesn’t
    that feel like the same old Victorian Era in the 19th century?

    I once saw this tweet on Twitter wherein a man was seen putting a paper clamp on the blouse of
    his girlfriend because it’s “too revealing”. This viral post didn’t stand a chance to a lot of
    women, who, without hesitations, voiced out their opinions.

    Twitter has a long history of different debates regarding how women should dress up. Because of
    these issues, women continue to educate and correct men on how they shouldn’t adjust for the
    sake of not being catcalled nor raped. Unsurprisingly, these men, who were debating with
    women on Twitter, would start being rude to them and call them names. Also saying that there
    isn’t enough equality in a world full of women empowerment – they are always the ones who are
    victims when it comes to being called out.

    Some men are afraid that women might outshine them in all aspects of life. Since the 21st century
    women are now strong headed, they start supporting each other to keep their heads high and to
    become one in order to voice out their concerns to people who are mistreating them. Let us keep
    being expressive on what we want and like, because this isn’t Victorian Era anymore.
