A pantsuit was the thing to wear to define yourself as professional woman who wouldn't be interested in sex with Fabio, much less your creepy ass. This was true maybe back when the seas were ruled by Spanish galleons but women have matured since then and a woman is free to express her femininity, regardless of whether she is in the workplace, as any man who can't control himself in that situation proves only he is not much of a man. As you may recall, Bill Clinton's third half was wearing a blue dress. I rest my case.
In general fashion terms, a Hillary Clinton pantsuit is interchangeable with a nun's habit as neither will get you anywhere but both guarantee you absolutely, positively will never get laid and, what's more, the pantsuit says you don't fuckin' care.
Rock me, baby. Rock me all night long.
Yah, (cough) right.
The pantsuit is symbolic of failed feminism as it's entirely a reaction to oversexed men, in fact rolling over for them just as surely as if it were for a mattress. If you're not free to be a woman, what the hell kind of feminism is it you want. That thinking just leads to everyone wearing grey Mao Tse Tung outfits.
A woman ought to be free to be beautiful ... or not ... and maybe my boobies don't bounce like Betty Boop anymore but they've sure as hell got enough left in them to bounce your punk ass out of the way.
Helen Reddy said I Am Woman so, yeah, be one ... and definitely not wearing one of those pitifully whipped pantsuits, Ms Nehru. You couldn't represent Old School any more emphatically if you tattooed it on yer butt.
Now, if'n your wearing a peasant blouse that just barely makes it over your nipples and they're playing peek-a-boo because you're not wearing a bra, that's teasing and that's bullshit in the work place. That's fine after-hours but at work it's manipulation. The response from men would be to wear Speedos and I'm pretty sure you don't want that at work ... well ... or anywhere else either, for that matter.
Even the Flying Nun had a better grip on her femininity than professional women. Stand up and be somebody (i.e. yourself).
Observations from my own experience were that women who dressed like women were usually confident and intelligent whereas those wearing pantsuits would often be carrying a chip on the shoulder, trying to prove something. The others didn't wear sexy, provocative stuff as they just dressed like women with other things to do just now and it was the same with men as the general uniform was Dockers and Dovers which are the guaranteed least provocative clothes a man can possibly wear.
The sexist aspect from the male standpoint is when they move up to thousand-dollar suits and power ties as the only purpose of a tie is to say I Have a Dick and the purpose of the outfit is to intimidate anyone, man or woman, as the contest with men is who has the biggest one. If you want to lose some sexism in the work place, go after that. The ties are just ridiculous, out-dated Freudian conformity and there's no reason at all to keep those beyond the intimidation effect which is blatantly sexist. And, if'n that's not true, tell me you can see a woman wearing a tie without laughing.
