Inequality of clothes

Ray Palmer

I was flicking the channels last night and a male news reporter in the studio was wearing a suit and tie. He was interviewing a woman who was wearing a see through blouse and skirt. Some tech business analyst. It highlighted the inequality in clothing options which is more pronounced during hot weather.
Where I work it is smart casual which basically means men must wear shoes, trousers and a top with collars usually a shirt but polo tops allowed. The women however can wear pretty much anything the want. Seems unequal to me

Long may it continue.

Now delete this thread before the feminist's find it, quick!

I will support your choice to wear a diaphanous dress, I'm sure you'd be much more comfortable. It's extremely unfair that society isn't more accepting of this, it's a form of persecution to make men wear pants and shirts when women are flouncing around in bras and heels and whatever.

Hooters may be hiring?

It's not really inequality, it's just a dress code.

You could start a new trend OP?

I'm threatening to wear my Onslow vest tomorrow if my female colleagues keep insisting on keeping the windows closed in this feckin' heat

You could easily get away with hotpants, OP.

That's empowerment, but if she appeared in Playboy it would be sexist.

But we never get pockets in our trousers.

I'm wearing a lilac dress, with pockets.

I thought womens clothes weren't allowed to have pockets?

On the other hand, at a party all the guys turn up in suits or tuxedos and they seem more or less equals, whereas for women it becomes an opportunity to show off who has the latest \ most expensive outfits...

Only the lucky few get to have them. I put stuff in them, just because.

So not only do you have the matriarchal privilege of wearing a dress, your culturally appropriating our male pockets? Disgusting. I bet it's a lovely shade of lilac too.

I don't know how you people can sleep at night!

It's always a bit rich hearing women saying they're freezing in skirts and sleeveless tops while the men in the office are in trousers shirts and ties. The OP has a point, if a man in my office turned up to work in shorts he'd be sent home, while women can wear anything.

I'll bet it's really mauve, a colour invented by William Henry Perkin who just happens to be a man. :eek:


I hope you can sleep at night, cultural appropriation and all that.






Putting pockets in is cool though.

Gonna fight for my right to wear a see through blouse at work now tomorrow!

Congratulations on noticing one of the biggest differences between men and women.

In the winter, women wear big coats, scarves, gloves and woolly hats, looking all cute and snuggly.

In summer, they wear nice dresses, blouses andlittle skirts, looking smart, elegant and sexy.

Men, in the winter we put a coat on. In summer we take it off.

Anyway join me?

I will supply pics just to really disgust you.

I wore respectable shorts in the office today. Nobody cares. If I had had a meeting I would’ve worn trousers though.
