I'm torn on this one tbh, on the one hand I wouldn't be one for telling other women what they can and can't wear but on the other those clothes are just so representative of sexism and how women are looked upon as objects/property of their husbands

Straw-clutching before next year's election. Merkel's already blown it with her own people, I'm afraid.

Well there are those who will argue it is a choice and they want to dress that way but I think the truth is closer to conditioning than choice.

If someone told you the sky was green your whole life you'd probably accept that, even if you can see its blue.
