Not to my knowledge.

Now, I apologize, but I have a reason for asking this: Are these your words? I'm not accusing you of anything, I just want to know if this is your own thought. I realize that it's a really inflammatory question to ask a writer, but I DO have a reason, and yes or no is all the answer I require, and all that I ask.

Yes, the original post was the result of my fevered brain. One of the many random thoughts I have, that I decided bore putting down in words.

Except, no, I don't. Because if some one demanded I do something I was uncomfortable with to keep my job, I'd not do it, report it if it were criminal, and go get a different job.
Women actually are paid MORE for work in the exact same job with the exact same experience.
check your facts before you spout the propaganda.

Thank you. I wanted to say, “This is utter nonsense,” but I could not think of a polite way to say it.

If it were true, women would never voluntarily dress as they DO, willingly, for their own enjoyment and others'. I don't see many women stumping around in the shapeless, baggy, Mao-blue boiler-suits the author of this rant seems to think women should all want to wear.

The author seems never to have heard of “feminist jurisprudence” or “sexual harassment law” either. In fact, you'd have to go back several generations to find anything similar to this state of affairs in reality.

Even then, you'd have to really search for it…

Have *you* ever feared being raped or worse, simply because you wore something "nice"?

Until you've had that experience, you really aren't qualified to argue about women's clothing and what social pressures there are.

ps, I *have* been in that position.
