I think in terms of the "general office" dress code situations women have the advantage. As a man you pretty much have to wear dress pants or khakis, long-sleeve shirt (maybe a polo if you are lucky), sometimes ties/jackets which get HOT AS FUCK in the summertime, I was always so jealous when I saw female co-workers wearing really floaty, obviously light-weight dresses and skirts when I was sweating my ass off in my long pants and shirt. Don't even get me started on how much I hate going to outdoor Summer weddings. I'm not saying that women have it easier at the workplace by any means but I do think they tend to have more flexibility with what they get to wear.

Shame on the channel for doing that to her on-air. Christ.
