Yes they can. But being gifted the position of vice chairman and previously as a “journalist” because of who one’s parents are is exactly what nepotism is. And she’s passing it on by hiring friends.

Nepotism knows no gender.

I’m going to be that guy...It’s wreaking, not wrecking.

Yeah, and the dress code is “formal, fancy and venue appropriate.” As in, anything that is sufficiently dressed up should be fine. It’s not like women are trying to wear beach slippers. Fancy flat do exist. Women shouldn’t be required to wear an uncomfortable pair of shoes (that’s covered by their gowns anyway!) in…

Are you actually making the argument that a woman in an evening gown and flat shoes is roughly equivalent to a sloppy man in board shorts and a muscle tank? Because if so, then you need to go back to the drawing board and find a new thought.

they turned away people with medical. conditions. it’s an absurd rule to every possible degree.

Well, that’s a bit of a crock of shit rule that needs changing. I think all the women there should wear flats tomorrow, each and every one.

Women, if you’re not in pain, you’re not fancy enough.

Also, there were ladies who specialized in repairing ladders in tights. For a couple of cents your priceless nylons were saved! Talk about a lost skill... I guess they were as common as cracked iPhone screen fixers are now.

Now all I can think about is the scene in “Hope and Glory” (1987?) where this was depicted.

I’d put it on the line for daft over brilliant. I knew someone who had stocking lines tattooed, and it made the majority of the clothes she wore look ridiculous, even though she tried to wear clothes that were suitable for it. She had a nice body shape, but It’s a hell of a commitment.

Girl, I know resources were bleak, but you leave me no choice but to think you were throwing shade with these fucked up lines.

There was a very good episode from the BBC called: “Supersizers Go... Wartime” that involved some of the cosmetic compromises that women made in the name of the war effort. Highly recommended.

What kind of a fruit or vegetable is a gravy? How do you get the juice out of it?

Know what would make this an actual article? To explain how they did this rather than just referencing it.

This trick makes an appearance in the not-very-good John Boorman film “Hope and Glory”.

Also:

I suspect this gravy leg suggestion was put out by a marketing firm full of dogs.

Well, that at least partially explains the weirdness of a dog/wolf having a freakout when it saw a pretty lady. Gravy juice will do that to a canine.
