Then why does the legislation need to be women specific? Why is it not "all members must wear long sleeved shirts, and a jacket or blazer"? Surely if bare arm

  @ultrarunner posted the reference language above. You make a great point, but it seems like the drafting accomplishes your proposal and they want some attire norms (guys on ties.) It reads more restrictive on men. I suppose you could also argue that guys should be allowed to wear dresses, but it seems reasonable to bet against that being challenged.

  The rule says “business attire” for both men and women. For men, it specifically requires a “coat” but the previous rule did not require a coat for women. In this country the term “business attire” requires covered arms for men, but it can be more nebulous for women. The new rule clarifies that women must wear a jacket or cardigan: https://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article271158062.html https://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article2... You’re correct that the gender of the bear arms shouldn’t matter, and the Missouri rule applies the same standard to both men and women. You’re assuming the standard is different because NPR wrote a clickbait article that made you jump to that conclusion.
