    Demand that they raise their standards.

    I would suggest that if you wear pants you should wear them "correctly". For day wear I would suggest culottes-- knee high breeches-- of type plus-2 or plus-4s in tartan. Paired with a tartan waistcoat, tweed day coat, full shoes (no half-boots), a proper cap and blackthorn Shillelagh in hand you would leave them breathless. For more formal affairs pull out trews, a mess jacket and don a top-hat.

    I would agree with them on the need for standards of dress and suggest that women, especially those in management, not be allowed to dress like men (pants or knee skirts) nor whores (anything shorter) unless they are either pre-transexual lesbians (for sake of political correctness) or prostitutes. Point out that many people--- especially religious Christians, Muslims and Jews--- are offended by garish women (what Sheikh Taj El-Din Hamid Hilaly called "open meat"). They should set standards and these should not be of decadency and moral inconsistency.

    You could, of course, just wear you kilt and start calling it a skirt. What can she do?

    If they want to fire you they will fire you without regard to what you are wearing. Fired for wearing a kilt, in fact, gives you quite a bit of leverage in the courts and makes the case interesting for ACLU, press and raises the amount of money you can demand in a settlement.

    you might also want to point out the great AMERICAN MILITARY TRADITION
    of wearing Kilts.

    It begins at WEST POINT!!

    a personal friend of mine Joel Harris,
    has recently been accepted into the Pipe & Drum Corp. and now has the Honor of wearing their Kilt.

    Tell this Person to thank all of the Kilt wearing Soldiers that Fought in Every War that has been fought to secure her FREEDOM.

    this personally gets my back up!

    this person knows nothing of their own history!

    Whoa! Déjà vu.

    Thanks to that post, Mr Griffin and I had a pleasant chat about the University of California (our employer), diversity, and dress codes. No worries here.

    Good luck!
