On \"The View\" Wednesday morning, the co-hosts condemned Schulman's remarks about Christensen's outfit and fashion rules for certain ages altogether.

\"In this day and age when women talk about... trying to bring each other –- or pardon the pun –- boost each other up, why would you write something like that?\" Whoopi Goldberg questioned.

\"More importantly, she's comfortable,\" Goldberg said about Schulman's piece. \"So how dare you try to bring her down. What do you look like in a bustier?\"

\"Here's the thing: Fashion is what makes you comfortable,\" she added. \"Christian Siriano and many other folks in fashion now are looking to see how to incorporate everyone in fashion, because not only do they want you to look good, but they want clothing to sell. They want to sell clothing, and people want to wear things that make them comfortable.\"

\"At 50 is when you need a bustier,\" Joy Behar joked. \"That's when those puppies start drooping!\" She went onto say that \"everybody has something to offer, and you should use what you have.\"

\"I just think you have to be comfortable in your own skin,\" Sunny Hostin said. \"As a woman, we are constantly knocked about our looks. We are constantly told what looks good, what doesn't. We're shamed for it.\"

\"For one woman to be doing that to another it's kind of sickening,\" Hostin added.

Meghan McCain said on \"The View\" that some of her worst experiences in life were among fashion editors and stylists at photo shoots that made her feel insecure for being a size not typically seen in fashion.

\"There is an arrogance to people in fashion that I've always hated,\" McCain said.

\"I got my nails done next to Helena Christensen one time and I could not stop staring at her, she's that gorgeous in person,\" McCain said about her encounter with the Danish supermodel. \"Take many seats, Vogue, in many ways right now. I don't have time for it.\"
