NOBODY TELL ANN ALTHOUSE: Important thoughts about men wearing shorts to the office. “Let’s acknowledge what this is really about: the overwhelming advantage women have in the workplace over the summer months. Sure, women have endured countless millennia of violence and misogyny and discrimination — but sundresses are a godsend for the summer and men do not really have an comparable article of clothing. The fairer sex clearly has a sartorial advantage and this cannot stand is all I’m saying here.”
The A/C was partially out in my law school earlier this week, but luckily the floor with my office and classrooms wasn’t on the dead circuit. I threw shorts and a t-shirt in my car just in case. I’ve taught in those a couple of times in the past. Improvise, adapt, and overcome!
But I don’t think most people want to look at most men’s calves.
