How to dress for an execution

[Slacker]

Not sure that tracks as the logical endpoint for the argument. The reporter in this case has 4th Amendment protections in addition to First Amendment protections.

If the prison dress code for execution witnesses is onerous, she and her employer can lobby or sue to have it changed.

In the meantime, prison visitors are already subject to questionable invasive search.

Yes, of course. ... Still, it's sexist bullshirt.

Yes, of course. ... Still, it's sexist bullshirt.

Of course.

But if the dress code is written down somewhere, it's her responsibility to know what's allowed and what isn't.

It sounds like this was the first time they actually enforced the rules. Or maybe the rules had changed.

Her defense so far has been: I was allowed to break these rules before. Why was I not allowed to break them this time?

Again, I'm on her side, but if, as in a NASCAR garage, the rule states: No Open Toed Shoes, why risk wearing open toed shoes?

You're daring a prison guard to enforce a rule.

My guess is they'd have bounced a man dressed the same way.

Again, the time to address and change an onerous rule is before the event.

Not at the event.

If the prisoner refused to obey the dress code, what are they going to do? Kill him?

I bet that would require emails.

Dress codes are always sexist bullshirt. Always.
That said, you have to protect yourself from the fallout of sexist bullshirt almost every day. She did not

Take away the harrumphing and the story is so stupidly funny.

shirt, it's Alabama. We'd probably keep a man in prison for dressing in a skirt and peep-toe heels.

Beaver Cleaver was sent to the principal for wearing this sweatshirt. How is that sexist?

Yes, of course. ... Still, it's sexist bullshirt.

I'm not trying to be difficult here, but if you agree (as you seem to) that a man would be bounced for a similar misstep re: couture (and I think you're right) ... what's sexist about it?

Was not a good idea to wear them when covering the Buccaneers during the John McKay era.
