Merry Christmas @adam -- today's show was seriously important. I don't know if anyone will care but I care. It's important. It's historical. Sadly, it's apocryphal. I agree with @Johncdvorak and you: there should be many more of these from both of you. #itm

I can't believe I'm sharing a song from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend but this is a wonderful critique of dimension-B @adam @Johncdvorak

I think this is the coffee shop -- I used to go here when I dated a girl in McLean https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator/store/16026/mc-lean-1438-chain-bridge-road-mc-lean-va-221013701-us

@dcgirl @Johncdvorak gifted colleagues.

@DrChris @dcgirl @Johncdvorak of course you are -- however, that low neckline is only for one of two men in this office:

@dcgirl @Johncdvorak I don't think dresses should be outlawed. Besides, since I am obese I can tell you that obese people are invisible.

@dcgirl @Johncdvorak no, everyone is much hotter in DC -- admit it. Men and women are pretty put-together now in DC, at least around K street and Logan and Dupont and partway up the Red Line. Or maybe they're just young, which makes anyone more attractive, I guess...

@dcgirl @Johncdvorak When I was in my 20s I went commando one day and attended a group gathering maybe a birthday with my buddy Mark and there were loads of young women there. I was wearing shorts. Nobody told me about all the testicle I was proffering until after we left. Yikes! That was not OK to have happened.

@dcgirl @Johncdvorak that was back in the days when NYC was always calling DC the most unfashionable city in America. Those walking shoes and the dark stockings and those awful blouses and jackets with the huge shoulder pads. And those awful "ties" that were part of the silk blouses that were sort of tied in a bow and let hanging. It was all so ugly. It looked like this to me! https://noagendasocial.com/media/LcIoNi5Z09cFn47nh5Q

@dcgirl @Johncdvorak it only counts if it makes you super-hot. Like I said, I work in Communications but I work from home. Because for someone who feels that way, the communications industry is the worst place in the world if you're still girl-crazy at 47.

@dcgirl @Johncdvorak I really feel like anyone should be able to wear anything they want at work but I personally find it very distracting (and too alluring for me) when a neckline is "low enough to maybe get a peek" be it a v-neck or even a woman's Oxford that's buttoned down. But then what about skirts or leggings or yoga pants or flattering jeans. This is why I work from home. That's the #1 reason, probably. I personally hate my Id. I never want to bring it to work, ever.

When @Johncdvorak talked about office dress code for women, what do you think? I have never thought that a low-neckline or plunging back was remotely office-appropriate on either men or women. Do you think that restricting what women wear in the office is sexism? Is protected? I have been in DC long enough that I remember when pantyhose and skirts (not pants) were mandatory dress on Capitol Hill. Do you remember those days, @dcgirl? I thought that was overstep. So, I am conflicted now. #age

@tlhall @adam @Johncdvorak Yes! The wrong word. accepted is the right word... sorry! I guess that might also be a Freudian Slip, as well. Because Hawaiian Mahus are surely and indeed outsider culture...

Hi @adam and @Johncdvorak we in Hawaii have two-spirit people, which we call "mahu" in Hawaiian. Here's an article about it:

http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/2016/1/9/mahu-hawaii-gender-LGBT-acceptance.html

"Mahu — a gender role in traditional Hawaiian society that refers to people who exhibit both feminine and masculine traits."

Seriously. It's a very excepted part of Hawaiian and local/kamaaina culture.

@unemployable so true

@johoshua @adam since when is this remotely a new thing? Since the 30s.

@xahlee it needed to happen. We programmers are always the spanners in the gears. We're ugly but arrogant and cocksure. They needed a way to combine 5 shitty coders into one prissy fuckface with mad skills.

Happy belated thanksgiving! #fish

@DrChris @Johnny_of_the_swamp but I am all about the fur coat with no shirt, playa!
