<rant>I hate wearing a tie, so I don’t unless I have to go to a meeting that requires one. Today I showed up at work in tidy jeans and a tidy shirt with a collar. I was told several times that this was ‘a bit casual’ by several female staff, to which I responded I’m no more casual than you.

Relative to other males in my workplace, I am dressed casually. But if you put what I was wearing, cut to shape of course, on a female it would not be considered ‘a bit casual’. In fact, they would all go around commenting on how much they liked so and so’s new shirt and that they would like one for themselves.

Maybe I need to find a job where I’m not so outnumbered by women.</rant>
