I can wear a dress to work and nobody criticizes me. I’d be really sad if I had to wear pants all the time, they’re just not as comfortable. Let’s normalize pretty dresses for dudes!

      A dress could be nice. No more butt/stomach showing if I crouch or bend over. Also, I bet cats would love it.

    at any previous job I would agree, but I work in a datacenter now that is not only quite cold, but also has lots of strong sources of blowing air that could be problematic with the wrong dress. Whenever I go to renfest I wear my kilt and fucking love it though.

    I’d love to try, but my legs are hairy and I’d hate to walk around with my underwear exposed, it’s like walking with your fly open but like worse. Idk how girls do it but i respect that.

    Don’t feel sorry, I have shorts. And my pants are tech ones, so they’re better than a dress anyways.

    I’ll be honest, I wear stretchy scrubs for my job and cannot imagine more comfortable clothing. That being said; never tried a dress lol

        They’re a bit on the pricy side, but I like Figs or Cherokee Infinity. I’ve been told CodeNxt is the same material as Figs but half the price; I would try those. Figs actually started making casual clothing as well now.

    My boss made it very clear that while the pictures in our dress code handbook are of the general gender stereotypes, doesn’t mean we are holding people to that. As long as you are business casual it doesn’t matter how you represent.

      While I can appreciate the freedom of boxers, I don’t like the gentlemen down below wandering all day long. A nice mesh boxer-brief is where it’s at. If I were rich, I’d have a full set of the Saxx Quest Ballpark™ Pouch boxers - those are my go-to for travel days. Sadly, they’re also $30+ a pair.

    I’m a chemist, we’re basically glued to our jeans regardless of gender. Yes, summer is hell for us.

    I love to wear dresses! Unfortunately the social stigma is still strong, even in progressive environments. I’d love to see a world where dressing is not a gendered matter.

      Be the change you want to be in the world.

      After reading this I’m thinking a kilt would work for me…

    I’m cool with pants. It’s one less thing to worry about, not having my crotch exposed or readily available.

    Plus, if I fall, my legs are more protected
