called feminism and demonized and cartoonized, along with the women who dare to want equal rights.

As for Lagerfeld, meh. The whole industry exploits women and is anti women, yet originally flourished mostly because of only women. When your industry makes "heroine chic" a byword, you're probably doing a lot wrong. So are the people who let this drivel run their lives or empty their purses and pockets.

This is not the Palace of Versaille or the court of Elizabeth I. Most women don't have the time, the money or the energy to worry about what Lagerfeld thinks they should wear or look like. (Speaking of which, have you seen what Lagerfeld wears and looks like and have you heard him speak? "Lagerfeld thinks" might be an oxymoron or its kissing cousin.)
