Blake Lively Called Out a Sexist Commenter Who Doesnt Like Her Wearing Pants

Blake Lively Called Out a Sexist Commenter Who Doesnt Like herbei Wearing Pants Actress Blake Lively, a working mom phenomenon with decades of red carpet experience, just While on a press tour for her new movie A Simple Favor, Blake wore a Ralph Lauren pantsuit that anyone would say is drop dead gorgeous. However, one Instagram user took the liberty of commenting something less than flattering about the stars suit.Source blakelively on InstagramIts suit number 1,356 for Blake Livelys promotion of A Simple Favor. This time custom pink Ralph Lauren Collection, a fashion blogger wrote on Livelys post. The sexist comment on Lively wearing pants I guess? elicited a response from the actress.Would you note a man wearing lots of suits during a promo tour? So why cant a woman? Just sayinnnn. No double standards ladies, Blake commented back.The blogger instantly backpedaled, calling the comment a bad joke.You know I love you, and I personally have really enjoyed this tour. If you look at my w ebsite, I have said that I have admired your total commitment to rocking suits during this promo tour. That number just an attempt at humor. Im sorry it didnt translate. Looking forward to the Paris premiere, she wrote.Lively instantly clarified that she wasnt trying to tear the blogger down. Instead, shes trying to embolden women to wear whatever they want and make aya other women are supporting it.I dont expect everyone to like it. Fashion that creates a difference of opinions is the fun part. I totally understand the missed humor. I do the same thing sometimes. Just looking to encourage women to do what men do without being teased for it. Yes, even in a space as material as fashion. It all starts somewhere...and everyones voice counts.As a woman constantly annoyed by the complete double standards of fashion especially in the workplace where men can wear the same suit for a week while women are shamed for outfit repeating Ive been cheering for Blakes suits from the sidelines for a while now. And Im glad shes out there educating ladies who still think its strange for women to wear, well, whatever.Now if we can just find a way to stop expecting women to wear makeup at work... that would be great.
