'Showing your body and showing your skin – or not – should not take any respect away from you.'
The young star has been seen as a sort of juxtaposition to other women in pop music because of the way she tends to dress. She gravitates towards oversized, gender-neutral street style. But this kind of perspective hurt Eilish."Because of the way that I feel that the world sees me, I haven't felt really desired," she told the magazine.
Of course, this kind of thinking also hurts the other artists being compared to her. Those who chose to put Eilish's more covered-up style wind up slut-shaming other musicians. And recounting the sexist"classic hot girl" TV trope, the singer said she didn't care for the"You can't make a wife out of a hoe" mentality.
"Suddenly you're a hypocrite if you want to show your skin, and you're easy and you're a slut and you're a whore. If I am, then I'm proud. Me and all the girls are hoes, and fuck it, y'know?" She added,"Let's turn it around and be empowered in that. Showing your body and showing your skin – or not – should not take any respect away from you."
