Categorization

• SEED: Could underwrite an essay on why moral-panic politics over dress and bodily discipline is actually a contested site of political transformation, not mere distraction.
• ADDENDUM: Directly supports the ‘Complaints About Immodesty Go Way Back’ essay — embodied dress norms are presented here as a genuine register of political contestation, not trivial cultural noise.
