Most women already dress casually compared to men in the workplace; now feminists are fighting for the "right" to wear leggings to work

Meanwhile the men must ask whether they're allowed to ditch the necktie for casual Fridays

The opening line about women putting up with a lot.

Everyone puts up with a lot.

Jedwardvincent · 2019-12-23T07:25:05+00:00

Dealt with this a few years ago at a job. They had HR work really hard on a company hand book, including dress codes for each gender. The women's page had white t-shirts/tank tops/shorts/skirts, while the men's was very conservative, no jeans, no tshirts, no shorts of any kind, or short sleeves.

I brought it up in the meeting where they revealed the hand book, and pointed out that, in the summer it's very hot and unreasonable for men to be expected to wear pants every day while the women were wearing shorts/skirts.

Was basically told that those clothing items were inappropriate for men, and that it could be discussed in the future.

Basically just ignored the handbook all together and told anyone who complained that I'd file a gender discrimination lawsuit. Nothing ever happened.

Yeah no joke, I wear a suit, I had to have a convo with a girl working in my location from another city, and had to tell her she can’t wear leggings. These women come in wearing fucking lularow or however it’s spelled, and it’s all good, I don’t wear a tie once and I get ripped. BS

Alexmitter · 2019-12-23T01:16:56+00:00

Yea, because everyone wants to see the full glory of your legs. Just dress like a normal human being, damn it.

Mackdude15 · 2019-12-23T01:10:59+00:00

Guess its been quiet on the feminist front. Sounds like they're trying to stir up some sexual harassment suits to reinforce their agenda

Uzrathixius · 2019-12-23T01:48:08+00:00

Howzabout we don't /amp/ the shit out of that link and thereby give Der Atlantiker Sturmabteilungen all sorts of tracking and advertising information for those who click it, yeah? Yeah. Okay, then:

1LegendaryWombat · 2019-12-23T05:24:23+00:00

Is It Weird to Wear Leggings at Work?

Yes. I don't care about your supposed freedom feeling, they're fucking clothes. If theres a dress code, obey the code or expect to be fired.

2019-12-23T05:50:44+00:00

Camel toe pants!!!

Bosspotatoness · 2019-12-23T06:00:24+00:00

In response we should start wearing kilts again.

It can be formalwear when worn so and if women can have knee-length skirts then why can't men?

Mackdude15 · 2019-12-23T03:16:08+00:00

And then they wonder why they get passed for promotion and arent taken seriously at work. #femalelogic

Sorry, but hiring managers need to trust that you'll be a professional for prospective clients and intermediaries. Going before a board of directors in tights and a sheer top like some hussy doesn't leave a good impression. For you or the company you represent.

If you want to be treated professionally you have to dress professionally.

Dressing casually is fine, aslong as i can wear sweat pants or joggers too

fogoticus · 2019-12-23T09:20:11+00:00

Well that's it. I'm gonna get a cock sock and cowboy pants to work because it's my right. Right?

Don't confuse your comfort with work. Most men would love to just dress casually at work but do you see them cry out when they get that suit on them the 5th time that week? No. Grow up.

Mr7FootCock · 2019-12-23T06:17:01+00:00

Sounds like typical duplicitous behaviour from the usual suspects

MrBrightcide · 2019-12-23T06:39:42+00:00

This already happened at my job. Female management would routinely wear yoga pants to work and although I'm sure it wasn't the primary reason a lot of them got canned when corporate cleaned house, it probably didn't help.

Secure-Lab · 2019-12-23T01:01:44+00:00

Yikes! If I worked outside the home I'd wear long dresses or skirts. Why do other people need to see my legs in full volume?? You can be comfortable in dresses and skirts, it's not rocket science.

2019-12-23T10:47:05+00:00

I don't know one woman that actually adheres to the dress code at work. Heck, one day my boss showed up in what basically were flannel pajamas and no one said anything to her.

"Blue Jean" Fridays, it's all "Jeggings" despite the dress code specifically saying no leggings. I find quite distracting as leggings/jeggings show EVERYTHING.

MezzaCorux · 2019-12-23T03:36:31+00:00

Fine but I get to wear assless chaps and a thong to work.

2019-12-23T02:36:32+00:00

can we maintain some fucking semblance of formality

alex_b98 · 2019-12-23T13:15:11+00:00

So they can complain about men looking at them

Dunkolunko · 2019-12-23T13:52:24+00:00

On film sets, it's kinda casual, but there are principles. Enclosed footwear, practical, non baggy clothing to avoid mishaps, dark clothes to minimise reflection issues.

All guys wear clothes like this. Then you get girls wearing sandals/flip flops, flowy hippie dresses and coveralls, sometimes even crap like miniskirts and scene crap, really distracting, show-offy, impractical stuff. Super unprofessional, but they are never criticized.

If they get the right to wear leggings, I think all guys should show up to work in leggings also.

Unluckybeaver · 2019-12-23T04:51:02+00:00

Everyone should wear whatever they want if it’s like an office job where nobody will see you. You’re all adults and mature enough to be reasonably dressed. It shouldn’t be that big a deal imo

2019-12-23T02:58:36+00:00

Sure if you’ve got a skirt over them, since that’s how tights are meant to be worn

2019-12-23T02:48:43+00:00

Noooooooo

Melohdy · 2019-12-23T10:29:13+00:00

Sounds like a way to get men out of the workforce. #metoo

InformalCriticism · 2019-12-23T12:42:30+00:00

At 50% gender diversity in my work place, I'd say maybe 10-20% of them dress professionally.

double-happiness · 2019-12-23T12:52:17+00:00

Whenever I see adult humans out and about, they are wearing leggings.

"Adult humans"?? is that some bizarre way of avoiding saying 'women'?

I conducted my own small survey too, sending out a Google form through social media that asked for women’s experiences wearing leggings to work.

Ah right, so she's only concerned about what women can wear, in fact. Thought so.

DanteLivra · 2019-12-23T13:12:15+00:00

This is hilarious.

someguy92614 · 2019-12-23T19:04:00+00:00

They should have to wear a shirt and tie to the office Equal is equal.

This is a comment from 5 fucking years ago, but still 100% relevant today. Here's the most important part:

The way many women dress today, with half their breasts exposed, is an expression of total disrespect for men. Men are left with three possible responses. To grab the woman, which is illegal; to ogle the woman, which is socially unacceptable; or to affect not to notice the woman at all, which is emasculating. A culture that normalizes such female behavior—i.e. not only not noticing or objecting to it, but prohibiting any objection to it—is extremely sick.

Your point that such outrageously provocative dress—which is now all but standard among American women, whether in the office, the gym or anywhere else—is actually disrespectful and demeaning to men, is one that is not made nearly often enough. I think you’ve really hit on it when you say that to pretend not to notice such things is actually emasculating. This touches on the basic fact that men, as men, are ineradicably interested in the sight of semi-denuded women. This is so basic to what men are that to disregard it is an open challenge to his status as a man, forcing him to pretend at being something other than what he is, compelling him to assent by his silence to an obvious lie. It is a companion to the morbidly sick insistence, now spreading in the Netherlands, that men should never urinate in a standing position. Men do not walk around half-naked precisely because it is obscene, and because women are not interested in seeing them dressed that way. For women to pretend there is no sexual component to dressing in ways so revealing that they go far beyond what is even practical or comfortable, is really just a quintessentially feminine, passive-aggressive kind of power play.

A-fucking-men.

yeehawdolphins · 2019-12-23T02:25:14+00:00

Fuck it, they start to wear leggings, guys, you know what to do...

Lion_amongst_gods · 2019-12-23T06:08:44+00:00

Yeah, and with the loose definition of leggings, it's just a step away from yoga pants...

MeatBeater19 · 2019-12-23T06:34:59+00:00

Didn't this trend die way back when?

FormedBoredom · 2019-12-23T15:19:59+00:00

I feel like outside of professional office environments the vast majority of women are walking around in leggings. It's to the point where it's weird to see a woman not wearing leggings.

BobCharlieee · 2019-12-23T15:31:53+00:00

Im a guy and work at a construction firm commercially, its not rare to see women in the office wearing work out gear and trainers etc. We have to wear shirts

phracea · 2019-12-23T17:14:06+00:00

The constant display of cleavage becoming more and more revealing(women use sex to get sales), led to corporate responding and issuing a new policy on cleavage

AdamChap · 2019-12-23T13:57:15+00:00

Nah. Ban all tight fitted clothing. This is work, not a fucking cat-walk.

Look at parliment today. Sea of black and blue suits among a sprinkling of multi-coloured women. It's kinda sad really.

blank_stare_shrug · 2019-12-23T05:13:45+00:00

This article is definitely a bit of toungue and cheek , but in real life women do this everywhere all the time and it is tolerated. They lack personality and work ethic and make up for it with spandex that is so tight it hides their actual body shape. Hail the Matriarchy.

Mackdude15 · 2019-12-23T04:47:17+00:00

These same women will be filing sexual harassment charges against men looking at their exposed spandexed asses

Dalinair · 2019-12-23T10:16:45+00:00

There's no 'right' to wear leggings, it's not against the law.

Companies have dress codes, schools have dress codes several places have uniforms, it's how businesses work, don't like it feel free to leave. Where I work it's casaul, I wear a hoodie to work and jeans and many women wear leggings, because its fucking casual.

Go work somewhere that the dress code is casual, go on, treat yourself.

spacedogg · 2019-12-23T02:39:52+00:00

They're staring at my ass. "Here wear this sweater around your waist. Oh this scarf too for your cleavage that's showing too. Can't trust those creeps not to look"

ConnorGracie · 2019-12-23T22:37:00+00:00

No sexy calendar, that's harassment. But dress like someone in the calendar a-ok.

2019-12-23T03:28:17+00:00

Wymyn at my job wear yoga pants, especially the fat old ones. Its something about “fun culture” or whatever. I try ti work mostlly from home

feraxil · 2019-12-23T14:08:44+00:00

How come I never see good looking women wearing these things in the wild? It's always shamu.

ausgamer529 · 2019-12-23T14:06:13+00:00

Men should also be able to wear leggings

ShawshankRetention · 2019-12-24T09:52:58+00:00

Well, i have nothing against it. When it was terribly hot in the summer, some of us did come in shorts (still kinda dressed up brown ones with tropical shirts) and women were gigling. Did not care.

Still, it could be a danger as a woman dressing provocatly could think men would watch her and then claim to be "gaze raped"

thinkdeep · 2019-12-23T06:16:19+00:00

What does women wearing leggings have to do with men’s rights?

Azuresk-BINGE · 2019-12-23T06:52:02+00:00

I don't understand why your is an MR issue? If they want to wear leggings, let them? It's not inappropriate, covers their legs entirely and isn't encroaching on what men can wear or making them put on any more. If anything we should be joining in and extending to make all workplace dressing more casual as a whole

Edit: Thanks for proving to me this isn't an MR sub at all but a women hate circle jerk. I'll be taking my leave. I wish you all well

I don't care if women wear leggings to work...as long as their employer allows it in their dress code. If they don't, too bad so sad you have to play by the rules like everyone else. Get another job that allows it if you want to wear them so dang bad.

2019-12-23T18:41:28+00:00

If you want to wear tight pants and a sweater just do it already

Toallpointswest · 2019-12-23T10:14:56+00:00

Umm, men should be fighting for women to wear yoga pants at work too... Sounds like a win:win to me!

EDIT: Oops, I should say this is a win:win for straight men.. the rest of you can downvote away
