He’s wearing a shirt and pants. Same number of clothes as speedo and undershirt. And I don’t think anyone’d want to go barefoot on that floor.
The difference is that it’s the custom in the U.S. (and lots of other places) for men in the business world to cover their bodies, and for women who want to be taken seriously to show theirs.
If you think this is a profoundly stupid state of affairs, you’re probably right.
The term in the clothing business for what a guy might wear to present to the Board of Directors is the “Ivy League Sack Suit” because it fits like a potato sack. (I used to have one from Brooks Brothers; except for the shoulders, it was the opposite of fitted, all over. I never had to have it altered, no matter how my weight fluctuated.) I’ll leave it to you to come up with a 2-word description of typical female “business attire”.
Like a schoolboy caught without his homework. “My dog ate it” of the 21st century. My cousin has a guy like Ed working at the same software company. He absents himself on Mondays and Fridays, but codes like a machine Tuesday through Wednesday and basically sleeps at his desk or watches YouTube or plays games on Thursdays. When my cousin asked why he gets away with it, the pointy-haired manager sort told him that this guy does more in those two days than anyone else in the department can do in two weeks. He types at something like 160 WPM with zero or near zero errors. Management has pizza delivered to his workstation on Thursdays. He’s also the highest paid in his division. He’s livin’ the life.
Ed has worn pretty much the same style of clothes for the past 15 years, so I won’t comment on that. The first thing that popped into my head when I read Ed’s reply to Dana was “Oh Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood”. Scott and John, you Animals! :D
