If you haven't heard, there's been some discourse about her recent baby doll fashion choices for the rollout of her new album.

Personally, it gives me the ick, as it did when Sabrina started doing it as well. Seeing Olivia follow the trend makes me very disappointed. To me, it's pandering to the patriarchal standard for women to never age and the idolizing of youth in women. In particular, the shot of her in "drop dead" where she's laying in her bed and her bloomers are showing.

Now the internet is split on whether or not this baby doll style is problematic or just a fashion statement. I can definitely understand it as a fashion trend from the 90s, but I would like to remind everyone that this doesn't remove the patriarchal influence. It's not suddenly unproblematic because women think it's cute...why do you think you find it cute and attractive??

I also understand that Olivia is wrongfully taking most of the flack for the return of baby girl clothing possibly due to racism and I fully blame Sabrina for popularising this trend first and escaping criticism due to being white.

Am I just too cynical, or is this discourse emblematic of the liberal feminist mindset of "I will jump but not because you told me to"?

Half joking but can the urinators pls bully Ariana into changing the album cover again. Bc this is sooo much worse than the OG eternal sunshine cover to me. It's like a selfie you took to convince yourself that you're happy.

Why does it seem like the majority opinion on Reddit is that it's not the parent's fault? To me, there is absolutely no reason to bring your newborn onto a flight. Normal people already feel uncomfortable on flights; How do you think a baby is going to deal with that? I get that while you were pregnant, you couldn't travel but why do you have to make that everyone else's problem? There's no way you don't think you baby will cry and disrupt everyone else on the plane.

I'm glad that stores are offering a bigger range of sizes now (XXS to 6XL), but why are the models still so limited? Would it kill them to replace an XS model with someone who's a medium? A specific brand I follow only has ONE plus size model, and she's only an L. Meanwhile, I see like 6 XS or S models on the rest of the website. What's the point of offering those sizes if you won't show us what your product looks like on other bodies?
