Screaming Bean
Tuesday, April 20, 2004

Interview went well, didn't hack and cough during it and I think I stand a good shot. That being said I bring you story I didn't tell you today. In Employment Discrimination class we are discussing the legal discrimination that is set out in dress and grooming codes by business. Some companies allow for very specific rules regarding facial hair on men and hair length on both men and women. In our textbook there is a small essay regarding the equity in wearing dresses. To paraphrase, it states that while men are not allowed to wear dresses, women are seen as separate and not equal. This brought up a discussion that revolved about sociological lines, most of which would not have been out of place in a graduate class in Sociology. I would say a great deal of it was posited by a person who would rather hear themselves speak than anything else, and as a result all I start hearing is "Blah blah blah...aren't I fabulous...blah blah blah." To keep the discussion alive for the rest of the class our professor set out this question: "What is it about men wearing dresses that offends the public at large?" The silence was deafening. Of course, I immediately came up with the only possible answer. Hairy legs. Yes, sexual equality is being held back in this country by hirsute legs. Think about any guy you know. Try to picture them in a dress. Now that you've stopped laughing, isn't that the real answer? Of course, I was too much of a chicken to actually give breath to this answer in class, but now I've told you. And here I thought I wasn't high-minded enough for law school.
