Stupid topic of dress code was not news

Re: “Archaic dress code an affront to women,” column, March 29. I cannot believe that with all the problems there are in this world today that females wearing sleeveless tops in the legislature even made the news.

I cannot believe that with all the problems there are in this world today that females wearing sleeveless tops in the legislature even made the news. I certainly do not agree with sleeveless tops, which are so unprofessional, but it does not deserve a mention in the newspaper.

The photograph published on the front page on March 29 was ludicrous. Justine Hunter’s top resembled a bathing suit, totally unsuitable for an office environment. I can’t imagine what was in her mind when she was dressing in the morning.

I would never wear a dress without a slip. I would feel undressed. I just wanted to express my feelings about such a stupid topic taking space in the paper.
