Yesssssssss. Hell, me, I shop in the men's department of Target. And hell, there's a decent argument to be had about the male gaze in the form of the camera and some of the lingering leg shots. But that's not about the outfit a woman chooses to wear. Especially if the actress had a strong say in picking them out.
Not to mention that the outfits themselves are more kicky, cute, and fashion young than blatantly sexual in the first place (not that it would be okay to slut shame if they were, but it makes the OMG SHE HAS LEGS argument even more ridiculous on it's face).
And YES. I am so tired of dude characters getting a pass on/being admired for the very characteristics that start getting called out the second someone with a vagina possesses them.
