Harry Styles and Candice Owens’ Twitter Fight Continues Over Vogue Photos in Women’s Clothing

And it’s always been a distraction from what really matters

The flames of broiling beef were reignited like a Burger King broiler today, as Hollywood actor and singer Harry Styles clapped back at Candice Owens for her criticism of his recent photos in women’s clothing in highly publicized photographs. The feud continues as the Twitter broiler isn’t calming down anytime soon.

It all started with a Vogue cover and the famed actor in women’s clothing, to which Candice Owens, a conservative talker (as opposed to a thinker), chimed in her disapproval in response, tweeting on November 14th, “There is no society that can survive without manly men.” Ugh.

In response, Styles uploaded a photo of himself eating a banana in a provocative way with the statement, “Bring back manly men,” an obviously silly take on the conservative commentator’s narrow view of masculinity.

According to Styles, “Anytime you set up barriers in your life, you’re limiting yourself.”

Styles can be quoted saying, “To not wear [something] because it’s females’ clothing, you shut out a whole world of great clothes” Which is really the crux of the discussion. At the end of the day, it’s just cloth, nothing more.

I and many others entirely agree with this take. Personally, it’s baffled me for literally my entire life that cloth was gendered. Sure, some outfit styles are better fitting and more comfortable on most men than most women, and vice versa, but not all bodies fit one mold.

Thus, the keyword in that sentence is “most” and there are no hard rules when it comes to what clothing we can adorn ourselves with and feel comfortable in. We should choose what works for us regardless of what gender we’re told the article of clothing is. Nothing should be off-limits.

What bothers me the most about Owens’ position is the fact that it’s so antiquated. It’s something I thought we’d be done with by now. They say that today’s rebellion…
