Actually teachers and those around young children should watch what they dress in. A female teacher shouldn't wear a mini skirt or a banana hammock in front of class either.
So no, a male teacher shouldn't be wearing a dress in front of students, as it would be destracting to their job.
After all, how many grade school kids do you know that wouldn't be destracted by a teacher dressed in drag, male or female.
I'm not sure I consider social conservatives to be "current day people".
My question is serious. Social conservatives obviously would frown upon a man wearing a dress to work, so if they're going to claim that they cherish traditional values, I would think they would frown upon a woman wearing pants.
If their values are relative and able to shift with the winds, then they're really not true conservatives, in my opinion.
I'm pretty sure they were upset when women began to wear pants in the workplace years ago. I'm just wondering if it still bothers them.
I see what you're trying to do...if a person thinks men can't wear dresses women shouldn't wear slacks...
Well, I think everyone should be required to wear pants to work...unless you're a pole dancer, or a swimming instructor or Hula dancer or an actor playing a part ....
BTW, anyone who disapproves of women wearing slacks should be put in a time machine and sent back to their beloved cave....
I am old enough to remember when all females wore skirts/dresses to work and school. Nurses used to wear these white jobs with white hose and white orthopedic-style shoes, plus a little white hat. It was when skirts got sooo short in the late 60s/early 70s that women were "allowed" to wear pants in dress situations, e.g. work/school. Now most nurses wear scrubs or some variation of street clothes.
I'm a Conservative and I'm okay with women wearing pants.
My grandparents were telling me a few weeks ago, that it was illegal in my town up until 40 or 45 years ago for women to wear pants out in the public. It was also illegal for men to have their hair longer than the tip of their ears and for them to walk around no shirt. In schools, everyone had to wear a jacket everyday, regardless if it was hot, they also had to have their shirts tucked in. Girls had to have their hair fixed up in some way, they couldn't just leave it straight down. Boys had to have their hair short and combed to the side and wear a shirt with a stiff collar. When it was cold, girls had to wear pants and put a skirt or dress on top of the pants. If school children failed to obey the rules, they were punished severely and sent home to change. These "rules" were at its peak in the 1950s up to the mid 1960s.
But by the 1970s, no one in my town really cared how you dressed.
I approve, but, I'm a male, so I usually prefer something a little shorter
