When certain types of human beings do not busy themselves with important work like raising children to be lovers of truth, they say things like:

“Sexist dress codes can be extremely harmful for your wellbeing. They perpetuate the image that women have to dress themselves to appease others, and that the wrong outfit can label them a distraction.”

To be fair, certain dress codes could be harmful to your wellbeing. You would have a strong case for dress code harmfulness if your workplace requires you to wear a shirt made from broken glass or put a crown of thorns on your head. When your employer says, “The standard uniform includes a 10 foot python to be worn around the neck,” I’ll agree that a protest is in order.

Also, to be fair, you should admit that the wrong outfit is absolutely a distraction. Wearing a bridal gown to the gym is going to turn some heads and that’s not because everyone is sexist. Your clothes make a statement. You know this but you won’t admit it because you love to complain.

You said…“Wearing high heels and skirts, covering up your midriff, and being forced to wear makeup are all signs of sexist dress codes. Because someone else tells women what to wear. Such guidelines perpetuate the image that women’s bodies are public property, and that a woman’s value derives from her appearance rather than anything else.”

It would seem that YOU are the one who believes a woman’s value is derived from her appearance. That’s why your pitching a fit about dress codes! I mean, if you valued a woman for her brains or personality you wouldn’t be distracted by her skirt, high-heels, or well covered midriff.

Whenever I go into public space, I conform to certain dress codes. That’s the reason you’ve never seen me walk past you in a restaurant wearing nothing but a thong and a 10-foot python. I’ve never been harmed by my clothing. Neither have you.

Grow up.
