EXACTLY. Why does wearing a jacket and/or tie signify “business” but a nice shirt or polo worn alone doesn’t?

Keep it simple then: Jackets for men means jackets for women. That’s one simple way. Sleeves for men? Sleeves for women. Easy.
There’s a chance that a lot of people will ignore this comment or argue you down, but I think you’re exactly right. Feminism frees everyone from gendered abuse.
Don’t like the dress code for men? Then try do something about it. Don’t just complain about women objecting to theirs.
I’ve always wondered how much energy would be conserved if offices didn’t have to air condition themselves into refrigerator territory because men are forced to wear suits and ties to work. I say this while sitting in my office, in Florida, in July, wearing a sweater because it’s freezing. Let men and women wear…
Agreed, men should not have to wear suits. Among many other things, it’s a huge contributor to overuse of air conditioning and detrimental to our environment and natural resources.
Women’s clothing is inherently different than men’s clothing. They make workplace dresses with no sleeves for women. I’ve worn them with no problem in Corporate America for years. I can’t think of a male equivalent. Even the most casual male business shirts have sleeves. They can’t just arbitrarily change the rules…
If I have to wear a jacket or tie, and you don’t, just because of silly ideas of what “appropriate attire” are by gender, then there’s always been a problem. You just didn’t think about it because, as a woman, you didn’t care until they gave you a hard time over a sleeveless outfit or peek-toe pumps.
Yes she does appear to rock. But remember guys that the very hardest thing for any human to do weather it be the King of Zaire or Matt Damon is to give up any power. Power is something people don’t share - ever. Never after never nafter kids. So don’t expect to get some diversity rap that is inclusive when you’re…
My favorite Effie Brown story:
this is whitesplaining too. she’s a black woman.
I. Fucking. Hate. Manslpaining.
At these meetings, they introduce Effie Brown, an experienced Hollywood producer and a black woman. She has produced seventeen feature films, including Dear White People and boy, the Irony Gods are working overtime today.
