AIBU to think that short skirts and cleavage are totally inappropriate professional dress?

Following the recent shenanigans about Angela Rayner crossing and uncrossing her legs while wearing a mini-skirt to throw Boris Johnson off his stride ... And further back, I was cringing at Theresa May standing outside No 10 as she took office as PM, flashing her cleavage. I really think if women wish to be taken seriously in politics and the professions, that they should not flash the flesh. In parliament, men are expected to wear jacket and tie, so why should women not have similar professional dress guidelines?

Good examples for me are the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg and Emma Vardy wearing very structured suits and coats that do not distract at all from what they are saying.

Hooters?

Horrible, dated place. Strangely, feminists don't have a problem with it.

...oh thinking about it, they do, but only with the men who go there. They will be applauding the girls for being 'empowering'.

you come across in your post as that far up yourself suggesting that someone who wears a certain type of clothing, couldn’t possibly be professional. It’s coming across that you have a very big issue.

hopefully I’m reading this wrong on both counts - only you know if you’re a condescending misogynist

I was suggesting hooters as a place where an employees might wear shorts and bikini top

@Shamwari22

if you think that’s an example of flashing cleavage you’re on glue🙄
