More fashion rules for women - that's what we need. I mean, it's not difficult not to look like a slut so there's no excuse not to make the effort, is there girls?

Aren't there only more fashion rules for women because the general rules are less strict for women, and they have far more options than men in the first place?Brian Peacock wrote:More fashion rules for women - that's what we need. I mean, it's not difficult not to look like a slut so there's no excuse not to make the effort, is there girls?
Men have stricter rules and fewer options, so there isn't a need for "more" rules. Example - if men showed their chests at work, then there'd be a need for a special rule as to how much was appropriate. But, since the general rule applicable to men keeps us buttoned up to our necks, or at most a polo shirt or v-neck, there's no need for it. Same with sleeves - no need to discuss how much arm is professional - men just wear regular shirts.
Where is the sexism towards women in dress codes? Where's the unfairness toward them?

The same people who decide the rules for women, and enforce them.
