So a temp - about the lowest run in the employment ladder, think she should be telling a company about their dress code for front office staff? Good luck getting a job with that attitude. Tell you what Nicola, pile on 10 stone, go apply for a job in a gym reception and tell us how it's unfair that THEY have a weight code.

+Karens Kitchen Requirements of the job. Don't like the dress code, don't take the job. It's no more demeaning than wearing a McDonalds uniform and barely any more uncomfortable than wearing a suit and tie. It's not as though she was on her feet for hours.

+Portugal Forense The world has never and will never be a matriarchy. Women are physically weaker than men, intellectually similar, and when this current blip of male stupidity passes, they will once again be viewed, at best, as equals, rather than pandering to their every whine. I'm sorry, but a world where might is right rules has been the default state for most of human history, and it will likely return to being the default state because it rewards the strongest, not the biggest whiners. Yes, high heels are using sex to provide nice frontage for the business, because the most powerful people in business are male, and they respond to such things. Complaining about it is as deeply in denial as to complain about the fact that your taste buds react to the scent of fresh cooked bread.

@bodoorgeest If I go work as a diver, I don't get to complain that I have to wear a diving suit. If I work on a building site, I don't complain about having to wear steel toe cap boots and a hard hat. Don't like the dress code, don't do the job.
