I have heard versions of this allegedly feminist rant from women online, and I think it’s a load of garbage. No, women shouldn’t need to wear burqas or go back to the Victorian era in dress to keep from being molested. Yes, men should treat women they interact with professionally as professionals, not eye candy. But there is absolutely no reason we can’t have professional dress standards. That includes insisting that everyone in the workplace have their midsection, cleavage, and upper thighs covered in opaque material, with no underwear exposed.
Look, even a nude beach gets dull after a couple of hours.
It is important for employees to be comfortable. If men want to dress up in blood-flow-constricting ties and binding suits – fine, but there’s no point in a woman (or anyone else) spending hours a week in a yoga class, if you are forced to wear constrictive clothing the rest of the time.
This is certainly turning into a daily rant of misogyny. Why are people so fixated on critiquing women’s bodies and clothing? We all know women can’t do anything right as far as certain people are concerned, so let’s just move on. Let’s talk the truth about men’s bodies and the horrible way men dress — where I live, the male summer “uniform” is a baggy, ill-fitting long t-shirt over what appear to be their grandmother’s baggy culottes with big clunky, dirty gym shoes (and ugly hairy legs). Come fall, they will go back to ill-fitting long pants.
Not an attractive look, especially considering that most of them need bras, girdles or even corsets.
And if guys are so smart and so superior, why can’t any of them figure out what size pants fit them?
I remember when culottes were in style for women and men used to laugh at them, saying how ugly they were. Now we see that they were just jealous because they wanted to wear them. And they were right, they do look ridiculous.
Now everyone is going to be mad because I had the audacity to critique males — that is not allowed.
I am almost afraid to comment today. Brianna’s confidence, freedom, and personal power is a whole lot stronger than mine. Yes JLChi I do wear a loose t-shirt and sweatpants but only around the house – or in the theatre when working with just the crew. If I am going to be around other people, like downtown or when the audience is in the theatre, then I have to dress far better – my wife makes me – and I am glad she does.
It is Friday – and it seems like it came too soon and too late. For some reason this short week was extra busy so I am glad it is finally Friday. I hope you are enjoying the day and are looking forward to a fun weekend.

If “foresisters” is supposed to be the female version of “forefathers”, she comes from a creepy family.

Professionalism obviously never came in the door.

“You tell ’em” … on both sides of the coin today. (◔_◔)
HI, MOM. Happy Late Friday, Clan.
