Is Cleavage Acceptable In The Workplace?
Today's poll question; is it acceptable for women to show cleavage in the workplace? Last week a former NDP MLA lashed out at Premier Christy Clark for showing a little skin in the legislature, prompting a flood of angry phone calls to talk radio. Perhaps the Dippers are seeking to become more socially conservative, as the federal party was recently caught air brushing cleavage out of an MP's picture. Is this the beginning of a pattern? The NDP may be starting a war against breasts. This is just speculation, but we'll see.

Cleavage is not acceptable - I'm picturing Libby as I speak.
ReplyDeleteThe only way we would see Libby's saggy excuse for mams is if she was exposing her stomach.
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, unless Christy shows up in a PVC corset I don't see what the big deal is.
If yes, is it acceptable for me to have a picture of a woman displaying décolletage as my screen-saver or desktop wallpaper at work?
ReplyDeleteCleavage? Yes. Camel toe ; probably not....
ReplyDeleteNony: You might have to explain Camel toe to some LOL
ReplyDeleteSchreck must have secretly defected to the Liberal Party of B.C. He's given Christy Clark more sympathetic publicity than she's had in the last six months!
ReplyDeleteInstead of being perceived as an airhead with questionable ethics,Christy's now " a woman under attack...by a man!!!".
Pundits always spout the line about electing the "best and brightest",and time and time again,politicians and their hangers-on prove they come from the opposite end of the scale.
Any political person on the planet should have a basic understanding of what is PC today,and it isn't criticism of a woman's cleavage.
Schreck might as well have claimed Clark was a closet lesbian,too,so she could get even more symapthy from the MSM.
Dumb,dumb,dumb. UNLESS,as I said before,he's secretly a Liberal now.
Cleavage in the workplace is not acceptable - man or woman. If a man shows cleavage it means the top 3 buttons on his shirt are undone, the hair on his chest between his breasts is showing and he is considered as unprofessional, a workplace Favio who is not a serious professional. If it is acceptable for woman to show cleavage then there is a double standard. A man is considered to be a workplace play boy if many buttons on his shirt are undone. Most of the people in your pole who voted yes to cleavage are probably male.
ReplyDeleteIt's not that cleavage or bare arms are inappropriate per se. It depends on where and when people's endowments are displayed. Some people don't seem to know how to dress appropriately for any occasion any more.
ReplyDeleteTwo examples from the current crop of MPs, both of them NDP women: Christine Moore dresses in suits that are two or three sizes too small for her, so that she always looks as if the buttons are going to pop off her suit jacket. Françoise Boivin, on the other hand, wears jackets that are two or three sizes too big for her. Maybe they should consult a stylist.
It may sound superficial, but let's face it, image does play a part in the public's perception of one's competence, be it in business, by presenting the corporate image or in other areas like government, where a certain decorum should prevail. Of course women are subjected to closer scrutiny because there's more variety in what they can wear and thus more opportunity for fashion blunders.
Given the reality of the importance of image, female politicians have to walk a fine line, trying not to appear neither too girly nor too buttoned-up.
SunTV has cleavage and bare arms. Love me the boobies while Sqwacking about liberals.
ReplyDeleteIf women want to show cleavage, why wear a shirt when going to work? It is unethical for both men and women.
