Erm.. Why does it have to be a low cut dress. I see plenty of light dresses that would be suitable for professional situations that wouldnt bring out these comments. Men should be allowed o have there shirts unbuttoned down to their chest because their chests are hot from all the hair?
- msbarnett 15y ago> I see plenty of light dresses that would be suitable for professional situations that wouldnt bring out these comments. Am I seeing this? Are you saying that if she didn't want to hear inappropriate comments, she shouldn't have dressed that way?
- loganfrederick 15y agoI think most people in most modern societies would agree a line should be drawn somewhere. If she wore a bikini to work, is it really fair to expect every guy to not say something? Now, that "something" should be closer to "you should change your outfit" than "I'd hit that", but still, the responsibility for the dress and generally accepted code of conduct falls on the woman in that case. I don't see this stance as sexist because, as others have noted, we expect similar conduct from men.
- estel 15y agoBut isn't saying "You're not dressed in line with our code for dress and appearance" the complaint here? I thought that with respect to low-cut/suggestive tops, the problem was never that they weren't professional clothing (with respect to the workplace in question) - which of course is an entirely independent and asexual issue - but that some people made inappropriate comments and thought it acceptable.
- MPSimmons 15y agoI think that a dress low-cut enough to be considered unprofessional is a sexual issue by default. Professional standards and decorum exist, in part, to prevent a sexualized environment. How is it judged that a man's pants are too tight to be professional, or a woman's dress is too short, and what are the reasons? The reasons are sexual, and I might be wrong in this, but I would guess the line exists where people of either gender would begin commenting.

- erikpukinskis 15y agoI see plenty of light dresses that would be suitable for professional situations that wouldnt bring out these comments I think you might not be fully aware of the extent of body-related comments that women get. I know women with breasts of such a size that they ALWAYS get comments, regardless of what they're wearing.
- cbs 15y ago>Men should be allowed o have there shirts unbuttoned down to their chest because their chests are hot from all the hair? We can, and I do. There are very different showing-chest expectations from us, we can even show our nipples in non-work public.
- Jem 15y agoI can tell you have absolutely no idea how hard it is to find flattering clothes for larger breasts.
