"Exploited" women don't necessarily choose the way they dress in the same way that one would choose what kind of toothpaste to use. There is no total freedom. No matter what anyone says, culture and society are very powerful and pervasive. It is a mistake to brush off the problems of socially created problems like dress expectation and anorexia because those women are "choosing". Whether or not they are actually being forced to try to achieve the beauty standard put forward to them by our society in legal ways matters not; they feel the pressure and respond. It's coersion, not free choice.
