    Ok. So bows are seen on women’s things and childrens’s things. And sexism almost always involves stripping agency and the infantilization of women. And you are unable to make this connection…why exactly?

      I mean, I don’t see bows on young boys things. I see them on women’s things and young girl’s things. The connection is to femininity, not childhood.

      If I’m not mistaken, bows used to be a lot more common on (rich) men’s clothing. But, similar to the high heel, has mostly fallen out of fashion in masculine fashion.
