Regarding clothing standards for t.v. personalities,

[MoonRiver]

I think either: females should wear 3 piece suits, just like the males; or, males should wear speedos and other revealing attire, hubba, hubba, .

I mean, why have such different standards for the sexes? It's way past time we demand real equality in the media. NOT SARCASM.

1. Males should dress like the males

on Outlander and Poldark. Perfect tv dress for the 18th century

[Phentex]

2. I think they should appear Max Headroom style

only talking heads

[True Dough]

3. Uhhh...

[bobbieinok]

4. Given what women seem to have to wear, men should have to wear just codpieces

If women essentially have to bare their boobs, men should have to show potential size of dicks.

Give women same 'just checking out the merchandise' rights as men.

6. Works for me!

And I'm married to the sexiest man on earth (imho, lol)!

[ProfessorGAC]

17. Well, Now!

My wife used to say that about me, but she doesn't say it anymore now that we're old! So, you don't have to fight with my wife over who's married to the sexiest man on earth! LOL, back at ya!

7. "potential size"? n/t

[demmiblue]

5. Oh, FFS.

8. About the only tv I catch is local news in the morning.

The older weather women and newscasters used to dress professionally. They retired. The new women are wearing skintight, cleavage-showing shades of red. Consistently. Which tells me management is probably behind it.

9. They are for profit entities....

and will request their personalities wear what they have determined to be most appealing to the base they are trying to cultivate.

[MoonRiver]

13. They actually run me off.

I bet that's true for a lot of women.

[NCTraveler]

14. Same with a lot of people.

You are probably more Maddows target audience. Bet her attire never ran you off.

[MoonRiver]

16. Correct! I have always appreciated intelligence over appearance.

[snooper2]

18. If that is true why would you care if Stephanie Ruhle wants to show a shoulder

Probably the most intelligent woman on MSNBC

[mythology]

10. Hyperbolic nonsense

I feel confident in saying that on a normal news broadcast exactly zero women broadcasters wear a bikini to compare against a speedo.

[Orrex]

11. Yes, you haven't missed the point at all. Bravo.

[zipplewrath]

12. You'd probably be surprised

You might be surprised how many women would object if you tried to change the way women dress on newscasts.

[EX500rider]

15. You'll definitely want to avoid Latina weather girls then...

They wear what looks like club clothes to me..

[moda253]

19. Why not let them wear what they want to wear?

Instead of trying to define what they should wear?

And why are we limiting what they wear? Why are we not limiting to what body type all women must be to be on tv? And what type of weight they should be in order to be on tv?

If someone says that a woman is dressed too provocatively someone will claim slut shaming. If someone claimes that someone is dressed too conservatively someone else will call that person a creep.

I don't get why we want to try and control so much when really someone shouldn't be FORCED to do anything in terms of how they want to dress or how they want to look.
