Dress Code Double Standards

It has always been this way. Men are required to wear collared shirts, ties, sport coat, dress pants (no shorts), or a suit, etc. women wear gauzy sleeveless summer clothes, shorts, etc. and bitch about the air conditioning being too cold.

As far as my workplace goes, the only dress code annoyance I have is that when some of my female coworkers walk by my area, I can hear their shoes slapping against the bottoms of their feet.

Yeah totally a double standard. I have female boss right now. Women wear leggings and spandex like clothing and it looks so unprofessional. Not to mention super long nails and other crazy outfits. I dress professional and she complains about what I am wearing. I am like wtf lady. Some of these people aren’t wearing closed toe shoes in here. Not to mention you can see more than if we were at the beach. Though I enjoy dressing professionally. Just leave me alone if everyone else is dressed as if they were going to do yoga or something.

You are absolutely right, and it is unfair, particularly in hot environments. Although a lot of places oddly and unnoficially impose rules about obligatory makeup on women, which constitutes an ongoing expense, since it's a consumable. As discussed here: https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/tja2rl/dont_wear_makeup_at_work_when_possible/ And don't get me started on how long nails can wreck keyboards. Particularly on laptops.

The one that gets me is I sometimes read r/BigDickProblems and a recurring topic is some guy whose dick is big when it's soft and it's noticeable. Then some women complains about it and he gets reprimanded by someone in HR about his inappropriate attire. WTF?

Female Privilege in the professional office

1) workplace attire I worked in accounting firm and had to wear a suit and tie every day and keep on the jacket and tie and have black shoes. Women who were supposedly in the same position wore whatever they liked, which in the summer was usually flip flops, tank top, white t shirt with shorts. Then get paid the same.

2) easier work Women never got the hard jobs, it was known who were the rubbish clients who would give you unorganised records, paperwork smelt, missing information etc, that job always went to a male. We also knew what jobs would be a doddle and that always went to a female.

3) office chit chat Males were pulled up for talking told to get on with the job, females could sit their gossiping all day. If males were seen to talk too much they were moved.

4) working hours The jobs with tight deadlines were always given to males and made to work late until it was done and come in early. Females were never asked to stay late.

5) conditions If there was a rubbish place to sit, such as a top floor of an old building that was dark and dingy with a sloping floor, only makes we’re put their. The best places females got.

6) equipment Any new computers, chairs, desks were always given to females first.
