Our thank to Mike P for this. An extract:
The survey found that it takes the average female worker just under 15 minutes every day to select an outfit – that’s 65 hours over a working year of 260 days – compared to just nine minutes for men. [J4MB: Six minutes extra per day. The clothes selection gender gap is an outrage, and women should be paid more to compensate them for it.]
More than half of the women polled said they often felt ‘stressed’ about what to wear to work, compared to just over 10 per cent of men.
The survey also found that one-third of women got anxious over what to wear to an office party [J4MB: Hmm, ‘office party’? Do women not work in construction, in sewers, on North Sea oil platforms, road digging? Why, those damned patriarchs, keeping women out of the best lines of work!] competed (sic) to just 16 per cent of men.
Let’s summarise the whole ‘women in the workplace’ thing, shall we?
Women are strong.
Women are powerful.
Women are stressed out about what clothes to wear in work, and at office parties.
We need more women in boardrooms.

“Everywhere you look—everywhere you look!–there are feminists pushing their way to the front of the line demanding women’s “fair share” of all of the goodies, the good stuff, the loot, the booty, the cookies. Even if women don’t need it. Even if women don’t deserve it. And even if somebody else needs it and deserves it more. And they get it, because we give it to them”. -Karen Straughn (GirlWritesWhat)

There needs to be a dress code for women, just like there is one for men. That’s what equality is all about. Why should there not be one? The only reason there isn’t one is once again the gentleman doctrine. It is clearly incompatible with the post emancipation society.

Over many years I’ve been involved in various ways with dress codes in what are mainly female workforces. Its a nightmare I can tell you. Women appear to have it in their head that they have some human right to “express themselves” even if its unsafe, impractical or sometimes just rude. Meanwhile men, apart from the odd run in over facial hair are pretty unconcerned about self expression in dress at work.

And if a man turned up to work in a mini skirt I suspect that its much more likely that he would be sent home to change because “society” enforces a more rigid dress code on men. (You see we can all learn to whine, perhaps we should do it more)

Yes actually I do think men should complain more. I was pleased with the summer protests of school boys about skirts etc. in hot weather. They made their point even though I suspect they simply were “taking the piss”. I am convinced enthusiasm for a lot of the feminist agenda would wane if men took up the issue. Frankly men need to get over feeling a “wuss” or mean and push back. “Manspreading” what about women and their lethal handbags? One very obvious issue is indeed the wildly inappropriate and frankly scruffy clothes of many women in public services.

Yes men should complain more but of course we are programmed to listen to women’s concerns and see it as our role to put things right for them. I have even read years ago a woman complaining that women were no allowed to fight in the first world war. Some of their crap would be laughable if it were not for the fact that they are so often taken seriously.

Can confirm as recently as last week, we had a conference on and every 20-something woman in that place (many of them highly attractive continentals) had her blouse unbuttoned down to her cleavage, was in a mini-skirt, or was wearing crotch hugging pants that left very little to the imagination. What truly baffled me for years about women was that they would put these clothes on (‘to feel confident’) and then spend all day tugging down skirt hems, covering their chest with their hands whenever they remembered their boobs were on display, etc etc.
The stupidity of their cycle used to annoy me more than the unwanted “sexual intrusiveness” of revealing clothing in a workplace environment with punitive behavioral codes governing employee interactions (simply put: if I have to think of you as a professional colleague, I don’t want your breasts flapping about under my nose all day). I always used to wish they would dress in something comfortable and casual like the guys; after all, a woman can look good (to a man, if not herself) in all sorts of stuff, conservative clothing and not. But they all try and overcompensate or something…
