I felt damned lucky to have enough talent to exploit my cleavage

Claire Berlinski написала длинную но умную статью про #metoo . Некоторые положения очевидны всем и давно (например параллель с охотой на ведьм), но она также интересно обсуждает непременные признания покаяния сравнивая со сталинскими процессами 30-х. Или вот это:

The consequences will not just be awful for men. They will be awful for women.

Интересна также попытка рассмотреть ситуацию как случай моральной паники.

Maybe it doesn’t matter where the sources of the present moral panic lie. But could we at least get enough of a grip to realize that it is a moral panic—and knock it off? Women, I’m begging you: Please.

at IBM they used to enforce ties and slacks for engineers until abuot 25 y ago.


when i went to visit IBM with my man, he was waearing shorts and a shirt and sneakers.



in medicine - jeans are forbidden and this is enforced ( if not on weekends), and dress code is explicit and very much enforced. at all levels. the higher levels don't need enforcement. they are already complying.

one place i saw CA obviously did not have a dress code. stanford. i hear now they do, too.

patients - by multiple surveys - don't like white coats period, but htey want to see a "professionally dressed" doctor.
