So I have to ask are you 100% that all the executive leadership folks involved here are men, or are you just assuming as much?
A little google searching shows that there are women in some leadership positions in these organizations, so I would be hesitant to assume that these were decisions driven by men. In my anecdotal experience, as a professional, the people most vocal about dress codes have at least as often been women as men, if not more often at least as often.
Also, it is worth noting that it is not good to automatically assume that decisions being made are being made by men because of an assumption that leadership positions are only filled with men. While this may have been true historically, this is 2022, and the world is changing, and automatically assuming leadership positions are filled exclusively by men and that rules enacted are enforced exclusively by men, is toxic and sexist.
I'm not saying your engaged in this kind of toxic sexist behavior, maybe you did deep research and found that both of these organizations are filled with 100% men in leadership positions and at no point was any woman in anyway involved in enacting, promoting, enforcing, or modifying rules relating to these dress codes. And if so then I agree with your post completely, but without that, I'm concerned this post is actually an example of the opposite of the messaging your going for here . . .
I am not assuming anything. You are assuming that I am assuming. So sit the fuck down and nobody is reading that essay
