FSW - Office Dress Codes

AndrewTheBritishNump · 2020-09-14T17:27:14+00:00

Some girls in a class I was in complained that the school uniform was sexist as it didn’t let girls wear tank tops, with small straps. This never really got enforced to my knowledge. Guys on the other hand had to wear suits and ties, top button done up, shirt tucked in. This was heavily enforced. I really don’t get their point.

One element of Title vii, workplace discrimination, is that a company cannot dictate what is appropriate female dress code. Ginsburg invented this interpretation to allow women to wear pants to work.

I always wondered what would happen if men started showing up in blouses and skirts. You can bet the law would be reinterpreted before you can say "feminism is about equality".

I worked a job where a bunch of women were complaining about the restrictions on sandles vs flip flops, etc. I was required to wear a tie.

I told them, you realize that as a man required to wear a tie I'm basically only allowed to let air get to my head and hands? Since there's no such thing as a "short sleeve dress shirt" I was basically looking at a very puritanical wardrobe. Women have pretty versatile options when it comes to work clothes....

And women then complain that they are cold.

As someone that works in the financial industry I can tell you this is 100% truth. Doesn't matter what role you're in you wear a suit and tie if you're a guy. Women showing up in whatever they want. You also get older women whispering in your ear "I love a good man in a suit" but could you imagine if I went around whispering to girls "I love a good girl in a skirt" or something.

The places I work don't require men to wear suits, but button up shirts and slacks/jeans are the norm. However, the women seem to think it's totally appropriate to wear camel-toe revealing yoga pants. Like, if I just wore my boxer-briefs I'm pretty sure I'd be fired.

I remember when I used to work at the IT department of a chemistry company and it was strictly forbid to wear sandals and women used to wear sandals with any problems.

They will put this down to “toxic masculinity”

Men abide by strict dress codes and don’t complain

Women: Omg why do I have to wear make up!? These 9 inch stilettos are killing me!! (Even though no one told her to wear tall heels) CHANGE THE DRESS CODE FOR WOMEN NOW!!

ngl if I don't sweat the moment I put on a suit I'd probably be okay looking like that dude going to school

Ivy97bros · 2020-09-15T03:52:33+00:00

I don't know what to say. I work as a Computer Scientist and I like to go to my job wearing a suit. My colleagues (men & women) use to go very casual.

This is kinda not true. Some jobs let you wear different things, I work in graphics and vinyl installation, so a t shirt and shorts with comfortable shoes is completely acceptable considering I will be working inside and outside in the summer. This may apply else wear but honestly I’ve never seen it in the 15 jobs I’ve had in my life. Dress how you want and don’t complain about others choices.

I would not pick this specific hill to die on fellas.

Now she might be wearing yoga pants and a t-shirt, but she also has a 30 min makeup routine.
