Portland, Oregon news anchor Maggie Vespa had a response for a viewer who told her to 'dress like a normal woman' and it's gone viral.
to go viral for a brilliant response to a jerk’s comments on her wardrobe choices, but she might be the best at this particular kind of clap-back. Her on-air reply to a guy’s comments about her high-waisted pants is getting raves for its empowering message, and let’s just say, you’re going to want to wear pants exactly like hers in solidarity.
It seems good old Jeffery has a little too much time on his hands and decided to message Vespa to let her know that he wasn’t into her pants. “Hi Maggie, just wanted to let you know that the clothes you’ve been wearing, especially those crazy pants that ride half way up your torso, are not cool looking, in any way! They look rediculous on you. Please change your wardrobe. You’re way too pretty to look so foolish,” he wrote. How nice.
In her on-air statement, Vespa was having none of it. “This is dumb, we know that, these are my pants. I like them. I bought them,” she quips. Vespa then explains that she posted about Jeffrey’s trolling on her Facebook page and received a huge response. She says, “… hundreds are sounding off on the pressure that women obviously face, especially those in the public eye to embody the epitome of physically attractiveness at all times.
Vespa isn’t merely trying to troll Jeffrey back — she had a larger purpose in mind with her little 5-day high-waist pants experiment. “Our goal here is to send a message — to women, to girls, to everyone — dress how you want, look how you want. And if anyone tries to make you feel less than because of that, that’s their problem, not yours,” she says. “In other words, there is no one way for a normal woman to look or be.
