If you are in a "hypercompetitive" program and a "colleague" informed you she could see the outline of your bra, you probably were played. I'm not interested in one-upping you on prestige of professional programs at our respective SoCal institutions, but you could probably cool it with that talk. True elitism is…

This is piggybacking on your question directed at twothirtyfive: Or even that it *should* be the province of schools to teach one how to dress in the event that the workplace has certain requirements? If it's the employers' workplace-specific rules, then I really don't see the problem with the employer handing out a…

Really? If a classmate pulled you aside and asked you to go home and change your shirt, you would? You wouldn't be like..."what does it matter to you? Get back to your books!"

Because they don't have to scrub in to a classroom every day for anatomy and physiology. But you're really only basing your opinion on what you wore in 1994 when you worked a part-time job (gasp!) while biking to school, so what do you care?

Omfg you are a national treasure. Do you have any "studies" explaining why I have acne? Why does my dog bark at floating ice cubes?

I think this is a fair point, but even when it seems unlikely that identity will be disputed, or that a sexual act took place, it can and does happen if there is not physical evidence to back up the victim's word. Sometimes it's as simple as the defendant claiming he wasn't present. Unfortunately, I've seen a jury…

If you didn't want to be insensitive to the situation, you probably could have made this comment generally instead of responding directly to this person.

I remember reading some hand-wringing cautionary fitness magazine article on Rihanna's habits several years ago. To sum it up, she basically eats cheetos, parties, then hits the gym. Like a classy Jersey Shore type I guess. Her lifestyle is truly aspirational.

Um, and while I can't speak for all my suit-wearing brethren...holy fuck life wouldn't have been better if I'd had to don business attire before I got paid to do so! I managed to learn to wear a suit without being trained to do so for the first 25 years of my life thankyouverymuch.

"School is your prep for the real world, people." Oh come on. School is for getting an education. If kids are learning to read, then they'll be able to read the damn corporate dress code with nonsense modesty rules when they turn 22 and are sentenced to a lifetime of corporate drudgery.

I refuse to believe you're a rules-follower based on your obvious disdain for the rules of grammar and punctuation. In all seriousness though, breaking and criticizing "dumb" rules is the first step to getting the rule changed. I'm not really sure what you stand for here.

Not to mention, people commenting on women's appearances and modesty in work is actually also a real problem we should address! Articles pop up on Jezebel from time to time about incidents with judges making inappropriate comments about female lawyers, and female workers having unreasonable/sexist dress codes at work.…

Why?

Right? Every time I see one of these asinine comments about school basically being training to get kids used to the 9-5, I wonder if people truly want to slap suits on kids and drain all the joy and potential creativity out of their lives. While currently funemployed, when working I wear a suit every day. School is…

3/10 fucking pathetic

Agreed, but I would *hate* to be personally named in something like this, ya know?

twit/witch? ....oy

I'm going to go ahead and guess she bought it for him. So. She can buy him a replacement.

So...your position is that it's not a big deal to ask the women to do similar things?

I went to a revue in Vegas and I agree with Lady Amalthea that the sexy vibe gets overwhelmed. So, actually, I hated it and did not have a good time, because I was looking forward to relaxing and letting the dudes do their sexy stuff. It was pretty apparent the producers didn't believe female arousal was a thing…
