[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone on twitter brought up a valid point. She claims to have also been a senate staffer at the time and recalled that the dress code required women to wear pantyhose with skirts. Those of us who are old enough to remember pantyhose can verify that they were constricting enough to practically cut off circulation. It is hard to imagine that he was able to reach up her skirt and inside pantyhose far enough to penetrate. Especially while standing up in a hallway where someone could have walked by at anytime.

I'm from that generation and I remember thigh highs. Don't you? They were all the rage,
 Any plenty of women have worn stockings with a garter versus actual pantyhose. Some do for health reasons. [/quote]

[b]Not in the early 90s[/b][/quote]

Yes, in the early 90s.  My mother bought them for me.  Who they hell are you to speak for all women and products? [/quote]

I am someone who was in my early 20s in the early 90s. [/quote]

And so was I!  Yet, I was given and WORE thigh highs!  [/quote]

To work? LOL. Ok, maybe you did. But, literally, I don't know anyone else who did that. I wore a lot of tights and hose, though. As did most if not all the women I knew.[/quote]

Why are you so stuck on this issue?  I was a poor college student working at a nonprofit.  My mom bought them for me and I gladly accepted her gift.  Do you always make fun of other women and their clothing ?  What a sad person you must be with little self-esteem.   [/quote]

Why don't you two start your own thread? Tara Reade has not said she was wearing thigh highs, she said she had bare legs. So you twits should take your personal spat elsewhere, maybe to the Fashion forum.

For the record, thigh highs are ridiculous. [/quote]

They were a thing back in the 90's, and I wore them sometimes in the summer because they were cooler (especially in DC) and I have long legs so they fit me better. But I don't think most people did.

But her story falls apart for me because she says she had bare legs. No one had bare legs.[/quote]
I don't believe Reade anyway, but this is an awfully slender point to hang.  Of all the thousands of interns that went through Capitol Hill in the 1990s, it's hard to believe that not one ever violated the dress code.[/quote]

You know the answer, this isn't hard.

Interns who violated the dress code in 1990 would have been handled the same as, or more harshly than, interns who violate the dress code today (wearing jeggings to the office today). They'd be sent home to get pantyhose. Nobody would be a repeat violator. Tara was on the Hill for months, so unless that day was her first ever day not wearing hose, I'm not buying her legs were bare.

Also, I worked on Capital Hill and the office manager--almost always a woman--had extra hose.  [/quote]
