257. We spend most of our lives in uniforms
From the day we are born we are put into uniforms. Pink for girls, blue for boys. We have been subjected to cultural conditioning our entire lives that Girls can wear dresses, skirts, recently we added pants, capri's. Men wear pants.

Look at the Oscars. Most of the women had dresses on of varying color, makeup, jewelry and heels. Paraded against a backdrop of guys in Black Pants, White shirt, Black Jacket, Black tie and Oxfords.

My comment aboput the boys wearing the Womens uniform was in regard to Cafeteria dressing. If you have a dresscode that specifies outfit A or outfit B. That does not mean it is acceptable to wear half of outfit A with half of outfit B. e.g. Just because it's hot out doesn't mean it's acceptable for a guuy to drop the pants in favor of a skirt without also wearing stockings if the "girls" dresscode for the day indicates a skirt and stockings.
