>Because it implies that only women were given a suggested dress code when in reality both sexes were given a suggestion.

You know perfectly well that is not what is being implied, nor is it what people take issue with.

I don't see any difference between asking a man to wear a suit and asking a woman to wear a skirt.

What if that woman has a scar on her leg and is self-conscious?

Why isn't a dinner gown acceptable?

Why specifically is showing off legs and sexualizing the woman a requirement?

What if they are trans f->m or non-binary and they would rather where a pant suit, or a tuxedo?

Gowns can be just as business professional, so can pant suits.

It was just a recommendation. Those things would be fine too in any business setting

"short" as in "it can be short of you want, but make it formal" .

Longer if always ok
