also looks better in the same way that 99.99% of women will wear high heels if attending a function or night out where they want to impress men

so her analogy of feeling like a prostitute wasn't actually that far off the mark after all

no because you are not allowed to have sex with the air hostesses no matter how hot they look

But you want to encourage men leering and making you feel uncomfortable? gross, draconian attitude LT

No different than wearing a tight top and high heels on a night out. Attractive women are well used to the leering eyes of men

That would be their choice though, no one should be forced to wear something they're not comfortable wearing

They are getting paid and sign up to it, no drama here

They sign up to wear a uniform, is there heels and make up written into that? And even if it is, woman very much have the right to get that s**t banned from working contracts, do the male flight attendants have to wear heels? I would very much doubt it, so they're allowed to have shoes that don't cause damage to their health and are allowed to be free from feeling like sex objects while serving tea & coffee, that's discrimination.

..there is a 'drama' though which is why the MP inquiry is happening atm to look into company dress codes which are unreasonable to an employee's comfort in their job, when that discomfort is only being asked and expected of one gender/females...it would only be something that they could asked to sign up for if it was applicable to both genders...


...some of the other airline examples given are not being allowed to wear a cardigan or cover their arms because it's apparently deemed 'frumpy'...and with shop assistants..female shop assistants being asked to unbutton their blouse and 'flirt a little' with male customers...
