I think you missed the point. If Trump had said "dress professionally", no one would have batted an eye, but saying "dress like a woman", that's just stupid. Speaking of... instead of fat shaming, we should be stupid shaming.
Well said. And I would've thought any public servant, lobbyist or politician working at that level of government would know the dress code and dress accordingly anyway, without needing to be told. " Dress like a woman" is such a silly term. It's so vague. I keep getting mental images of Washington folk in the new administration. Theyre dressed like women and men, as instructed. The halls are alive with Playboy bunnies and Marlboro men. And a couple of fun lovers are J Edgar Hoover in a feather boa and fishnets. One thing that just hit me. Didn't President Trump say something about dresses and skirts when he was asked to clarify how one dressses like a woman? Anyone else picturing Hillary's power pant suits in their heads right now? I'm guessing someone picked up on it at the time, because didn't President Trump then say something about pants and jeans being acceptable if they are neat and well pressed? Telling the folk of Washington to iron their clothes well and dress neatly in public like Mum having a bit of a go at her teenaged kids going through a bit of a stage. Too funny.
Just thought I'd complete Bowerbird's thought for you. The fast food industry finances political parties, all the time. It helps get people into parliament/congress etc, keep them there and reward them with positions for the "right" decisions when they are shifted on one way or another. It's called buying influence. Nice euphemism for a pimp/whore, relationship, isn't it? And I'll add it isnt just the fast food industry, it's the whole food industry- hence politicians allowing things like current beef cattle and poultry farming methods (just to name two) to continue. If you can put your " personal responsibility" thingy to one side for a minute I'm sure you'll think of several examples yourself where being bought and paid for stops politicians deal with some highly problematic food manufacturing practices: - practices that are highly damaging to the environment. Like all that land given over to producing beef, wheat and potatoes - just for fast food joints. All that clear felling, all around the world, some of it just for the packaging. Think fertiliser run off doing its level best to destroy aquatic and marine life, all over the world, admirably assisted by things like pesticides and global warming. Think places like the Great Barrier Reef. I live next door to it, so it's hard not to. Think over fishing of one species and its accidental annihilation of another byproduct. From the peole who brought you Silent Spring, coming soon, Dead Desert Oceans. Yay! - practices that produce an unhealthy end product for the consumer. Think sugar, carcinogens, steroids, antibiotics, addictive substances, things like that. Yummy! - practices that are downright cruel to the animals. Battery hens, anyone? Chickens specifically designed so they grow such obscene amounts of breast meat they can't even stand up. Who the hell voted for that? Then it should hit you that the "personal responsibility" argument just doesn't cut it at the consumer level and then hopefully you'll realise you can apply it to the rise in obesity, too. I say hopefully, because if you're American it will be harder. Americans have had the dogma of individual freedom, choice and responsibility = government regulation bad/free market good rammed down their throats so hard for so long, they can't see a forest for the individual trees. My! But that dogma serves profit well! Here's a thought for you. Individual freedom, choice and responsibility can only govern in a direct democracy , and ain't no one living in one of them.
Dress like a woman offends you? How strange... I'm a woman and it doesn't offend me. Then again, I used to work for a major airline and we were prohibited from wearing denim while flying for free. Taught me a valuable lesson. He/she who signs the check makes the rules. One must pull up her big girl panties and comply.
Is there a rule at your airline where you have to dress "feminine"? I'm guessing that they don't. Yes, a company can say you have to dress a particular way, but they cannot say you have to dress like a woman or a man.
How silly. There's no law against it. Except the law of supply and demand. They supply you with a good salary, you meet their demand to dress like a woman. (Or a man, whichever they prefer) Don't like it? Quit. Simple, huh?
Yes but somehow comments like the one reported have a new meaning when coming from the Groper in Chief Unsure if he means women should look like this Or if he wants them to look like this Most probably the latter though given the Orange Gropers past history and where he likes to "grab" women
So what does a man or a woman dress like? Maybe like this? Yeah, it's kind of stupid to just say "dress like a woman" or "dress like a man" without going into any kind of detail.
Yes yes yes but NO. Trump didn't say "federal employees should dress..." he said "Women should dress...". Can you honestly not tell the difference? Do you really think civil servants and lobbyists of either gender, clearly at the top of their game because they're working in Washington, need to be told the dress code? It's Washington, not junior high school!
Trump didn't say federal employees should do anything of the sort, actually. It was one anonymous source cited in a crap article that other "news" sites then picked up around the web and tried to portray "true," yet there has been no corroboration at all. The "source" just claims to know how Trump is and that he "used to" like women to wear dresses, then they assumed he did the same in the WH. That's really....REALLY...far from "Trump said..."
Women cowboys don't look anything like that. That's Hollywood garbage. All she is doing is wearing men's (or probably boy's) clothes. The Scot is wearing men's clothes.
You mean that stores don't sell that kind of clothes? Oh wait, here are some clothes sold by Rod.com, a western wear retailer. Not exact, but I think it proves my point.
Dude clothes don't count. Women are not cowboys...Never were. You do know that cowboy clothes are made for a purpose? Just like dresses, suits and ties depict a purpose.
That wasn't my point. Do you agree that cowboy clothes & dresses, suits and ties were made for a purpose? They are outward expressions of one's place in society and when one is doing a particular job that requires a uniform then one dawns those threads. I remember my father (a high ranking government employee) had to wear a hat, white long sleeved shirt, suit and tie.
Cowboy clothes were not a uniform (at least not until Hollywood got a hold of it), it was simply what the guys wore during that time period when on the range. Why didn't women wear the same thing back then? Because it was against the law! They actually could be arrested for wearing pants in some parts of the country. Thankfully, we live in the 21st century, not the 19th, and women are allowed to wear what they want. Yes, I know they can't wear what they want at work, but the issue is not having a dress code, but having a sexist dress code. There is no reason for a woman to have to wear a dress if men get to wear slacks.
Just more Democrat ranting about a lie. That's about all the Democratic Party has left. Tell a lie, then rant about it.
I you were standing anywhere near the Orange Groper you would NEED metal underwear - and preferably ones with outward facing spikes Try grabbing THAT you nasty little man
