Twilight asked:
In the business world, certainly at most management levels, men are pretty much mandated to wear a suit and tie in many parts of the world.
In the business world, certainly at most management levels, men are pretty much mandated to wear a suit and tie in many parts of the world.
What are the reasons for this?
Are the demands placed around uniformity of male appearance as restrictive and stultifying to personal expression and freedom as some argue the Hijab is in the Middle East?
Might one extend the argument that capitalism is the religion of the OECD, and the business suit is much a mandatory way of dressing as the Hijab?
How far would such an argument hold water?
What do you think of the comparison?
Are suits a symbol of male oppression?
