This is how the people on the porch generally behave when they see Janie?
They judge Janie; they gossip about her past and comment on her body.
In chapter 6, Janie breaks her silence to say this to the men hanging out on the store porch (and who are saying that they wouldn't allow their wives to embarrass them like they think Tony Robbins' wife does), encapsulating an important theme in the novel.

This is the main message conveyed in Judas Priest's song "Rising from Ruins" that is applicable to both Janie's strength at the end of the novel and your own obstacles you face in your life.
What is that not only do you have to face storms in life, but that you should face them with boldness and courage because they will make you stronger* and teach you things about yourself that you would not have known otherwise.

What is the fact that Joe insists that Janie should look like a pretty queen while she does unchallenging work in the store. He desires for Janie not to have any kind of independence, voice, or skills, so the last thing Joe should complain about is that she doesn't know how to do anything.
This is the reason Janie rejects so many suitors (people approaching her in order to court/woo her) after Joe's death?
What is the fact that she loves the sense of freedom and independence that she feels. She doesn't feel trapped any more, and she's able to rekindle the sense of love she has for herself that has been dormant.
