    Yes, of course. ... Still, it's sexist bullshit.

    Of course.

    But if the dress code is written down somewhere, it's her responsibility to know what's allowed and what isn't.

    It sounds like this was the first time they actually enforced the rules. Or maybe the rules had changed.

    Her defense so far has been: I was allowed to break these rules before. Why was I not allowed to break them this time?

    Again, I'm on her side, but if, as in a NASCAR garage, the rule states: No Open Toed Shoes, why risk wearing open toed shoes?

    You're daring a prison guard to enforce a rule.

    My guess is they'd have bounced a man dressed the same way.

    Again, the time to address and change an onerous rule is before the event.

    Not at the event.

    I bet that would require emails.

    Dress codes are always sexist bullshit. Always.
    That said, you have to protect yourself from the fallout of sexist bullshit almost every day. She did not

    Take away the harrumphing and the story is so stupidly funny.

    Shit, it’s Alabama. We’d probably keep a man in prison for dressing in a skirt and peep-toe heels.

    Beaver Cleaver was sent to the principal for wearing this sweatshirt. How is that sexist?

    I'm not trying to be difficult here, but if you agree (as you seem to) that a man would be bounced for a similar misstep re: couture (and I think you're right) ... what's sexist about it?
