What to wear?

More observation on the item of clothing. We, conforming males, are prisoners - or shall I say - hostages of the system. Male fashion did not change in many years in the sphere of business and diplomatic etiquette. Bowties, neckties tuxedoes for official reandevoux and casual black and white for office run galore. Especially in banking, finance and law. And yet women, go to preposterous lenghts to make themselves attractive in the workplace. Maybe this observation is not true in "liberated" US, but is definetely true on the continent and further afield, where, risquee skirts, and plenty of makeup rule. Why can't a man bear his legs in the office, but a women can for instance, or for that matter why a woman in tight dress will be admired by all men, but a converse will not happen if man is dressed in bright colors, or wears shorts. Why makeup, mascara for women is acceptable in the office , but men with makeup applied will be thought of disgustingly ,as a transvestite, or at least as a paragon of decadence, and the prospects of career advance will be curtailed for them, even if, or in fact, because they are not homosexuals. How many board meetings are presided by men in Hawaian shirts? None. Paradoxically, men face more restrictions in what they wear and how they should be wearing it, unless they are artists or on the fringes of the society. This society still and will continue to judge people by what they bear on their bodies, be it hijab, miniskirt, tuxedo, or dirty overalls. Times have not really changed since Middle Ages.
