That would limit career prospects in many fields.

It’s definitely true. I’m basically a T shirt and shorts guy and my son once told me it is a “flex”. I was surprised, and it really opened my eyes.

as opposed to what? having to wear a suit and tie?

Basically any activity-appropriate clothing (per social, not practical, rules). In most cases I can’t be bothered figuring out what clothes to wear. I mean sure, a wedding or a funeral I know, but otherwise? A fancy restaurant? Lawyer meeting? Giving a talk? Who cares?

I go to board meetings in my normal clothes, and with my dog, and until my kid said something it didn’t even occur to me to do otherwise.

I do remember buying a car years ago and my wife commenting, “At home [europe] they wouldn’t even let you in the door”. In the Vally they just want to do business.

Doesn't match my experience. I assure you they'll happily sell you a car regardless of your attire over here.

So does calling out sexism and being socially conscious in general. It still has to be done.

So how do we tackle that, because that's bullshit.
