[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Without having read all the back and forth in this thread, it boils down to this: SHOULD it matter that she doesn’t shave her legs? No, it shouldn’t. WILL it matter that she doesn’t shave her legs? Yes, it will. The people in her office will be Millennials, Gen Xers, and Boomers. It’s an unfortunate reality that in a traditional, professional office setting she will stand out in a negative way. Anyone arguing against this fact doesn’t know what they are talking about and certainly hasn’t set foot in a traditional office. It may not be ideal, but it is the reality. Make sure she knows this and then she can make her own choice. [/quote]
How will it matter? Factually, what will happen? They will see her legs and fire her? They will see her legs and reprimand her? They will see her legs and criticize her body and ask her to shave? No, none of these. That would probably be illegal. So what will actually happen? They will occasionally see some leg hair and then move on with their day? Is that really what all this hand wringing is about?[/quote]

You’re probably right, but a partner at my law firm once told a group of us to stop wearing open toed shoes because it made us look like “party girls” and then commented on our shoe choices again every time she saw us thereafter. So yes, people might say something.[/quote]
And when was that? 20 years ago?[/quote]

Again, it is very clear you haven't worked in an environment that PP is describing.[/quote]
And again, you are incorrect. Do I believe this happened? Yes. Do I believe it happened in this century? No. [/quote]

Very telling that the PP never came back to say how long ago it was.

I'm picturing shoulder pads, panty hose, and big big hair a'la dynasty. [/quote]
