The Coffee House

Then why are all of these comments directed at how women are dressed? Where is the talk about how we can't take Zuckerberg seriously because it's not appropriate to be wearing a hoodie in a professional environment?

First and foremost, because, for better or worse, the nature of women's fashion is such that this can happen. Men's fashion on the other hand, at least in the general category of business attire, doesn't really lend itself to this. You're not likely to see man wearing clothing that allows for his posterior or chest to be exposed.

The difference, I would submit between a man or woman in Mr. Zuckerberg's position is that his accomplishments buy him (or her) a "pass".

We have arrive. The sun is at Gary’s back and fine vino at his front ... we’re eagerly waiting for our lunch.

You people have some heated/passionate debates in here. I try to stay out of the whole male/female differences discussions because, well, I LIKE our differences.

Now Jon, doesn't your wife know you can't just return to work, you have to let them know you're there - I'm here, I'm back, I walked in the door, I'm standing here in front of you...lol gimme a form to fill out that I am actually here.

Ya know this is funny now because I don't have to do this kind of thing anymore! But your wife not getting a paycheck is NOT funny. Hope it gets sorted out fast.

Zuckerburger may have thought he'd gotten a pass the other day... hearings weren't on, but Facebook, Google, Twitter etc. were called in front of whatever Congressional committee. One congress person told the lawyers they sent in no uncertain terms that it was expected the CEOs would be there, and something to the effect that if those companies don't do something, 'we will do it for you'... No pass for him!! lol

You know, that's how we talk to toddlers... you can do ___ or I can help you... usually they think a minute, then decide they'll do it! lol

I figured what network, and did a quick search of women anchors; CNN and CBS photos as an example look professional enough. But Fox, goodness, that seems to indicate why they've had recent firings and harassment situations, good grief.

I would say with that fancy kerchief he's looking downright jaunty!

SharonCat there's a car insurance commercial with a dog that looks like yours!!! Also the guy that hosted one of those singing competition shows is in it... can't think of his name. Something about judging dogs singing.

How that will sell car insurance is beyond me.

My response to just about any justification that it's okay to judge women's attire while giving men a pass:

And if you don't realize this is sarcastic, then just move along.

My response to just about any justification that it's okay to judge women's attire while giving men a pass:

Apparently I must be missing some posts???? Who and when did someone give men a pass???? I commented about the inappropriateness of "one" young lady who was (because of her dress being so short) was exposing her buttocks and underwear. When the dress is so short that it barely even touches the couch behind her when she sits, I'm sorry that isn't appropriate for the job she was doing. None of the other women or men in the same group of commentators wore anything even close to being as short or revealing.

I guess I'm confused on your point. Are you saying it's okay or not okay for anyone on a national news channel to expose themselves like this young lady did, or are you saying that the men should dress in a similar manner so as to expose themselves???? I guess they should they all act like Jerry Springer wannabes anyhow, just go full out. Then maybe someone will come with an "all news" channel that reports the news only, and leaves their left, right, center, whatever opinions at the door.

Betty crocker fudge brownie mix, follow directions, add plenty of marijuana spice. Kick back, develop some film in coffee.

Call Fox News and tell them you find this offensive. They should hear this from viewers. Might change the culture there, who knows?

I thought the motto at Fox News was, "Yeah, we're offensive. So what? There's no such thing as bad publicity!"
