Thoughts on how disconnected gender feminists and SJWs are from normal people.

That’s silly. A food and wine festival, and a car show, have a different dress code from an government office-type work environment, particularly when the workers being televised, and especially when the televised workers are supposed to be role models for students.
That’s the point, Bob. It is only in areas where feministy, SJWs are prevalent, such as in offices run by smarmy, leftist HR departments where there is a problem.
If you really wanted a professional environment, get rid of tattoos, colored hair, piercings and pleated Dockers. Then, I will agree with you.
Ahh, so that’s what all the hullabaloo was about. Nothing to do with WHAT was printed on the shirt, just that he didn’t have a plain white one on. The screaming and fainting would have been just as widespread had his shirt been covered with the likeness of Harriet Tubman.
Thanks for that BOB.
No, that’s not my argument at all, and I don’t see how you could there from what I wrote.
Actually, a plain white shirt would have been a sign that he was a misogynist repressor if he was older than 45 or look like the very type, square without style, that causes women to choose not to go into the sciences.
Wearing something that is part of the stereotype leftists have for men, white men in particular, is viewed just as poorly as the shirt with the space women on it.

Your point would be interesting if the office coworkers complained about the shirt. They did not. So your point seems irrelevant.

Not in the job description.
We the people are the bosses. Some of the bosses complained.
Its funny how the “we the people” defense only works for Democrats. Must be because Democrats don’t view others as people.
We the people are the bosses general public.
FIFY, and we the people go to wine festivals and car shows and think people like you are prissy progressives that need to get over your tyrannical desire to tell others how to live and what to think.
As my college professors would say, “Just because you pay taxes, doesn’t mean you pay my salary or are my boss.”
But I don’t know, taxes + tuition should = something more respectable than what they were allowing.
have a different dress code from an government office-type work environment
Uhh, have you ever seen these people in their natural environment? They don’t wear suits and ties to the office. Jeans, tshirts, scruffy faces, scruffy hair and shoes (maybe they will wear some kind of shoe or maybe not) are all of the casual to saturday morning lying on the couch watching movies or playing video games after drinking all night variety.
Dressing down would be a step up. Business casual would be if the boss’s boss’s boss was in the office and they still wouldn’t wear it.
and especially when the televised workers are supposed to be role models for students.
This was a role model stage crafted PR event and not an announcement of achievement? More likely it was a, “Hey gang, we are going to do a press conference. No, I have never done one either. Just be yourself and have fun.”
Having them all wear tuxedos or some other formal attire would actually be bad PR because it would scare kids off.

I worked in the OPF with people that looked like they just left speed weeks at Daytona and were planning their next rally to Sturgis. And why would they dress up? Anyone of them could tell you what happens when a tie gets stuck in rotating equipment. It isn’t pretty, so you don’t wear one. Heck, one shuttle manager quickly got a new job after he broke dress code and brought his wife into the OPF wearing high heels. That was a safety incident waiting to happen, and he should have known better.
My limited experience is in facility tours but the “dress code” at a government facility seems to be just as informal as it is in other tech jobs.
Good point on the safety aspect.
Working in the OPF must have provided some amazing views.
Go to a theme park or a car show, and far from being offended by such things
