The Congressional Dress Code Is Restrictive And Sexist! Or Not [VIDEO]

The media, as if they haven’t thrown enough fits lately, decided to get their knickers in a twist over dress codes. Specifically the dress code that pertains to the United States House and Senate. Here’s what happened.

A young, female reporter recently tried to enter a guarded room known as the Speaker’s lobby outside the House chamber, but her outfit was considered inappropriate because her shoulders weren’t covered. She was wearing a sleeveless dress.

ZOMG!!! Stop. The. Presses!  How DARE they inform a woman that her attire is unacceptable!

I mean REALLY! How dare he demand that people dress professionally and with class!

Newsweek jumped the shark.
