Fair point. So I assume there are no other women who feel they need to dress in an attractive fashion at work? Or men who feel they need to comply to some code or other? (As has perhaps been said in this thread.) Just highlighting the nonsense that surrounds cultural pressure and the need to fit-in.
Dress codes at work are not on a par with the burkini ban in the slightest but I agree they're ridiculous and arbitrary and should change. Fortunately that is happening as my generation start to run more and more businesses. BJG1 said:

Bikini on KSA's beachers - not so good.

You seem to close an awful lot of threads that feature the word "Muslim".
Why?
Because the drift off topic and become a general discussion of the rights and wrongs of Islam.Why?
That's been made perfectly clear numerous times.
Go to General Gassing and start a thread about Astons and within a few posts people will be talking about Corvettes. It is the way of the world.
If every thread that drifted off topic got locked, then the site would die.

Surely you could find a better phrase for discussing Islamic and Saudi attitudes to women than "rock on"?Burkini on KSA's beaches - rock on (private cove with bodyguards preferred)
