LOL, dont feel bad.  I haven't read the article but from experience, I was not allowed to wear a sleeveless top as part of my business outfit and I had to wear stockings.  My friend actually had her employment terminated for wearing a halter top.

Who said men can't wear shorts to work?

Who said all men wear suits to work?

Whoever it was must have their eyes and minds firmly shut.

I used to go to functions from time to time at a posh men only club where the dress code was very strict. A suit and tie had to be worn at all times. The president could permit the removal of the suit jacket but the shirt underneath had to have long sleeves and thetie was never to be removed.

Why can women in even the most respected professions wear skirts while men who work indoors are forced to cover our deliciously sinewy thighs and calves?

I'll tell you where it ends, ladies. It ends at the knees. Nobody's asking to go all Warwick Capper, circa 1985. We know that some shorts have their shortcomings.

All we, the men of Australia, ask is to be able to wear tasteful knee-length shorts to work in summer.

LOL

It's basically sexual harassment. Why they pick on us men?

I think it would be very frowned upon at our office.

Even the ladies must adhere to the dress code. No strappy or strapless tops, no sandals and hemlines must be a moderate length. No shorts for the ladies either, btw.

Its not harassment, its nothing like harassment and dilutes the term

it may be a slight case of discrimination. 

Most office's will be well airconditioned so what's the problem.

Spare a thought for the people that have to work outside and have to wear protective clothing under OH&S

One office I worked at almost everyone wore shorts. One guy chose to wear trousers, shirt and tie but that was his choice, no one made him.
The only time anyone got "dressed up" was if they were meeting with clients and that was usually at the clients office.

Is it acceptable for the women to wear trousers?
