Congress's Sexist New Dress Code

THERE IS A NEW DRESS CODE
IN PLACE FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WANT TO VISIT CAPITOL HILL, AND
YOU HAVE TO WEAR SLEEVES.
THAT IS THE WORD ON THE STREET FROM A
NEW REPORT.
A REPORTER TRIED TO GET INTO AN AREA CALLED THE
SPEAKERS LOBBY, AND SHE WASN'T ALLOWED BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T HAVE
SLEEVES.
BY THE WAY IT WAS JUNE, AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED TO
THIS WOMAN WHO TRIED TO GET INTO THE SPEAKERS LOBBY.
BUT IT'S NOT
JUST HER, OTHERS HAVE TWEETED THAT THIS SORT OF THING
HAPPENED.
IT IS HOT IN DC ñ AS
SHE SAYS.
THIS IS APPARENTLY
IMPORTANT
TO PAUL RYAN.
>> THIS APPLIES TO THE REPORTERS BUT ALSO TO LAWMAKERS AND STUFF.
SO HE IS CHECKING OUT STAFF NONSTOP.
YOU ALSO HAVE TO COVER
YOUR TOES.
>>THAT GOES WITHOUT SAYING TO ME.
>>YOU THINK SO?
>> I DON'T KNOW IF IT MADE THE FINAL DRAFT OF THE CONSTITUTION,
BUT THERE WAS A WHOLE TOE THING.
A WHOLE FOOTNOTE.
THE LOST
FOOTNOTE.
>> I GOT IT.
LOOK, IT IS FUNNY BECAUSE IT IS ABSURD AND
APPARENTLY PAUL RYAN HAS A FOOT FETISH.
WHAT IS WITH THE RANDOM
YOU CAN'T WEAR OPEN TOED SHOES.
THE SPEAKER CAN NEVER SEE YOUR
TOES.
IF HE SEES YOUR TOES BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN.
>> IT'S JUST SO STRANGE.
IF YOU LOOK AT PHOTO AFTER PHOTO OF
WOMEN PRESENTING IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS, MAKING PUBLIC
APPEARANCES FOR VERY PUBLIC OFFICIAL WHITE HOUSE PURPOSES ñ
SHE WEARS SLEEVELESS OUTFITS.
IS WEIRD FOR SOMEONE TO SAY THAT IS
AN APPROPRIATE.
IT WOULD NOT STOP ME, IT IS
SO STRANGE.
>> THAT MIGHT BE YOUR PARTICULAR RELIGIOUS THING IF YOU ARE A
MUSLIM, OR CHRISTIAN APPARENTLY.
BUT YOU HAVE TO SEPARATE THAT
FROM YOUR OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT BUSINESS.
YOU CAN'T TELL A
REPORTER WHO WAS THERE ñ I THINK IT'S JUST AS BAD TO SAY TO YOUR
STAFF THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE YOUR ARMS OR TOES.
>>THAT IS THE IMPLICATION.
IT REMINDS ME OF THE TEACHERS WHO
SAY THESE GIRLS IN CLASS ARE WEARING OUTFITS THAT ARE TOO
REVEALING, THEN YOU SEE THE PHOTO AND IT IS THAT THEIR SHIRT
COMES TO HEAR AND YOU SEE THEIR ARMS.
IS IMPLYING THAT THEY ARE
SOMEHOW SEXUALIZING THESE WOMEN.
EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE NOT BEING
AN APPROPRIATE.
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A NICE
SLEEVELESS TOP, AND THEN WEARING A TANK TOP LIKE YOU'RE
GOING TO THE BEACH.
THAT'S NOT WHAT THESE WOMEN WERE WEARING.
>>WOMEN CAN'T WIN BECAUSE IF THEY COVER THEMSELVES UP TOO
MUCH-
HE PASSED A LAW SAYING YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO WEAR BURKAS
OR BURKINIS.
IN
FRANCE YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO WEAR BURKINI,
HERE IN AMERICA YOU CAN'T WEAR SLEEVELESS.
YOU CAN'T SHOW TOO
MUCH, YOU CAN'T WEAR TOO LITTLE.
WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU SUPPOSED
TO DO?
FOR GUYS THEY SAY YOU HAVE TO HAVE A SHIRT ON, AND NO
FLIP-FLOPS.
WOW.
>> THERE IS A TIE OF SHAME FOR GUYS WHICH DON'T WEAR A TIE.
IT
MAKES HIM LOOK RIDICULOUS BECAUSE YOU ARE ADMITTING IT BY
CALLING IT THE TIE OF SHAME.
I JUST THINK BUSINESS ATTIRE
COVERS IT.
>> YOU DON'T GET PERVY AND TELL US ALL THE THINGS YOU WANT TO
SEE, AND THEN COMPLAIN ABOUT SHARIA LAW.
PAUL RYAN ñ MANY
BODY PARTS HERE.
THAT APPEARS TO BE FORBIDDEN KNEES.
>>EVERY TIME, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LEAVE IT TO
BEAVER.
>>WHEN IT COMES TO HIM APPARENTLY IN FORMAL ATTIRE IS ñ
HE THOUGHT THESE PICTURES WERE COOL.
>>SLEEVELESS.
HE IS SAYING NO.
DO NOT WEAR WHAT I AM WEARING.
I
AM JUMPING OUT OF MY SLEEVE.
I CAN'T CONTAIN MYSELF.
