[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can be honest and tell her that it is outside the norms and that some people will judge (but not say anything, because they could almost certainly be fired for that) but then leave it at that. The rest is up to her. If she knows the norms and chooses not to follow them, she’s an independent thinker. Good for her.

And it’s not like it’ll affect her career path or promotion potential or anything. She’s in high school. Most normal people, if they notice at all, will shrug and think “huh, kids today.”[/quote]

In this very long thread, I think this early poster said it best.  Its worth it to make sure that she is aware that some people probably will not appreciate a woman with exposed hairy legs in the office, but that it SHOULD not matter.  She can do what she wants, and yet she's not flying blind into the situation.

When people dress / present themselves outside of traditional gender norms, I view them as helping to challenge pointless norms and validate others whose self-presentation falls outside those lines.  [/quote]
