Are they adopting that liberal fantasy of speedos and guns?

Speedos on those nasty looking old men?

They already had a dress code, but it was not strict enough towards women, so they had to make it more strict for those harlots in the Missouri congress

The men have to cover their arms as well.

We wouldn’t want professionals to act and dress professionally, now would we.

What are their adverbs?

 

[HeyNorm]

Some women think all women should wear hijabs too it doesn't make them right

Dude, the are getting equal treatment. Men also must wear jackets.

This is the lame post of the year so far.

Missouri Republicans Have Found Their Post-Roe Enemy: Cardigans

Missouri Republicans aren't done telling women what to do with their bodies

Missouri has a lot of problems, but if you were in the statehouse today, you would have thought the biggest one was what female legislators wear.

Peter Merideth (D-St. Louis) shared the news on Twitter, "Debating the house rules on the floor today, and the first amendment offered by a Republican is about making stricter the rules of what women have to wear in here."


Cannot have bare arms by the women, that might distract the men!

The radical republicants of Mizzouri have a groomer policy of control of all womenz, chillin's, and freaks.

American Taliban.

Missouri Republicans have run on and advocated for the right to have big, burly guns. Strap whatever you want on your side. Want to buy weaponry? Absolutely. You can run entire ads just based around you shooting a gun to try and get people to love you. The right to guns? It’s the Missouri way, they say! When it comes to arms, though, it just so happens that one kind of arms scares Republicans enough that they are prepared to regulate it. I know, I know, regulating arms never works. You see, the arms Republicans want to regulate are the bare arms being shown by women legislators on the Missouri House floor.

I doubt many Missouri residents imagined that the opening of the state House would begin with a fight on open arms, but that is exactly what is happening in Missouri

Women with bare arms scare the devil out of Missouri Republicans, leading to dress code legislation

For discussion it should be noted that it was a woman who started all of this.

“The changes were spearheaded by state Rep. Ann Kelley (R), a co-sponsor who was among the Republicans seeking to require women to wear a blazer when in the chamber. She was met by swift opposition from Democrats who called it ‘ridiculous.’”

Missouri Republicans Adopt Stricter Dress Code for Women

I believe if I was a female legislator, I would simply ignore it. There is obviously a law suit sitting there in the way this was enacted and I'm sure many lawyers in the affected class to handle it.

She's still an idiotic republican.

As I suspected this is much ado about nothing.

Dress code for women legislators debated in Missouri House

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Democrats on Wednesday slammed a Republican-backed change to the Missouri House dress code for women legislators.

kdhnews.com

Old rule for women:

"Previous rules stated "dresses or skirts or slacks worn with a blazer or sweater and appropriate dress shoes or boots" were allowed."

New rule for women:

"The new dress code for women says: "Proper attire for women shall be business attire, including jackets worn with dresses, skirts, or slacks, and dress shoes or boots."

Rule for men:

""Proper attire for gentlemen shall be business attire, including coat, tie, dress trousers, and dress shoes or boots," according to the House rules."

There was an amendment suggested and accepted to allow cardigans to count as a "jacket".

"Shields offered an amendment — which lawmakers adopted — allowing cardigans to count as jackets."

Not sure what the BGD is. If anything this change brought the women's rule more in line with the men's which should be celebrated by anyone who advocates for equal rights.

The House floor isnt a fucking fashion show. Get over yourselves.

Missouri Republicans pass a rule requiring women to cover their arms in the state House chamber

"We are again fighting for a woman's right to choose something and this time it is how she covers herself," one Democrat said during the debate.

I just can’t get over how stupid this is. It’s frankly laughable how republicans like to pretend they have libertarian values.

I'm a guy, but believe women should keep their arms covered. Everybody should, in my opinion. I keep mine concealed in a shoulder holster. Most of the women I know keep their arms in their purse.

Who has a dress code that bans bare arms on women? This shows how women are second class citizens to male Republicans.

True – the consequence of reckless, irresponsible Republican ‘governance.’

I’m trying to think of another place where women have to dress a certain way so that they don’t tempt men.

Dang. Tip of my tongue, y’know?

The days of suits and ties needs to go away forever. It's time.

This is great news, looking and dressing decent and professional has essentially become a conservative thing...I say make all the dirt-bag leftist feminazi SJW’s dress like a conservative looks….lets fuck with them at every single turn.
The nutless GOP may have finally caught on.…maybe they’ve learned that if you give a filthy leftist an inch they will always take a mile….NO MORE COMPROMISING!
Maybe the filthy left fucked around and poked the bear for far too long…huh?

“We swear, just pretend faggots are cool and we’ll never push anything on you good, real, core Americans again.”

“We swear, just get God out of schools and we’ll never push anything on you good, real, core Americans again.”

“We swear, just give 3.5 million wetbacks Amnesty and we’ll never push anything on you good, real, core Americans again.”

“We swear, just let us regulate your guns a little and we’ll never push anything on you good, real, core Americans again.”

“We swear, just believe chicks with dicks are normal and we’ll never push anything on you good, real, core Americans again.”

“We swear, just give Mexico free healthcare and we’ll never push anything on you good, real, core Americans again.”

“We swear, just allow us to monetarily penalize our most productive citizens just a little more and we’ll never push anything on you good, real, core Americans again.”

The one they passed was more in line with the men's code. It really wasnt much of a change frankly. If I had to guess people were taking advantage of the vagueness of the former rule.

 

[Couchpotato]

And such blanket laws are always a bad idea.

Not a law. Just an internal rule. Why is this such a big deal?

 

[Foxfyre]

Sounds like something a Muslim would care about.

It isn't quite as big a deal as some make it out to be. There are a lot of us, women too, who think a proper dress code in formal business settings is conducive to proper conduct and contributes to serious and civil behavior in such settings. Certainly a state legislature qualifies as a formal business setting.

The men have to abide by a dress code including suit coat and tie. Why should the women be exempt from also having to dress properly for the setting? And requiring the women to wear suit coats or cardigans, it puts everybody on equal footing so that the temperature in the room can be set comfortably for all.

Suits, ties, or whigs equals a lesser.

Is it the same place that hates free speech and gun rights for the people?

 

[BrokeLoser]

Suits, ties, or whigs equals a lesser.

Remember when ALL employees for ANY company were expected to look like a trusted, productive member of society?
What happened? Did leftists make such an expectation out to be RACIST? Why do you lefties hate standards and expectations?

 

[Blues Man]

Dude, the are getting equal treatment. Men also must wear jackets.

Men and women are different in case you didn't realize that. Why are you so afrid of seeing the bare arm of a woman? You afraid others will see your erection?

While they hate men dressing like women, they like to make women dress like men.

Maybe someone needs to teach those women how to dress properly.

I reckon. See, this is a properly dressed woman with covered arms...

I don't get it.


What is so terrifying about a woman who does not look, dress and act like a slut?


Everything the left does is driven by fear. Why do y'all fear someone who maybe dresses like your grandma?


Modesty and dignity are now sinful.


Why does a dignified looking woman send you into fits of rage?


Your cute little phony outrage on behalf of women who choose to work in a milieu that has a dress code is kind of weird.


Nobody is making those women work that particular job.


Y'all are just backward.


The new puritans.
