The New York Times on the left and right now offers privileged resistance advice on how to fight Donald Trump's “implicit dress code.”
How blessed are Americans living in a country where people have time to choke their hands? About this: “Readers ask how they oppose the revival of traditional dressing.”
Yes, poor Rennie in Emeryville, California is very privileged. New York Times For advice, this broke her list…
The new Trump administration appears to have a general trend towards traditional gender stereotypes and attire. Is there a way to use clothes to rebel against this implicit attire code, even in a rather conservative work environment?
What proves this is that Donald Trump has already made America great again. Because under Joe Biden, he had to worry about being arrested for gas prices, inflation and praying in front of an abortion clinic. In violent crimes, men in women's locker rooms, children were secretly lined up, and who actually ran the country. But Trump's hatred is so desperate to whine about it, I know Trump doesn't legalize dress codes, but it feels like he has, so how can you refute an issue that doesn't exist in reality? – Signed, not actually oppressed, but I wish I had been there.
Of course, the clown is New York Times Take this very seriously:
It is true that the new administration appears to have very specific ideas about dress and gender. Something that relates to the classic cliches of masculinity and femininity. Most extreme, these take the form of executive orders regarding the definition of gender, but are also expressed in their choices about aesthetics and clothing and beauty. When it comes to women, it appears to mean high heels, long hair and gorgeous eyelashes.
Translation: Men look like men. Women look like women. How terrifying. This was very good.
And here is the most privileged advice I've ever read:
For example, if your dress is for internal satisfaction – if it is an expression of your own gender sense and that means to you – simply make you feel like you are, Wearing something that reminds you of your own belief system is the answer. If the points you want to make are about old gender norms, it may be sufficient, literally not to simply shop on them.
Can you imagine this as a priority, as there are so few problems in your life? Listen, I consider myself a blessed person, but I have no time or energy to crave my ass. Will it fit? Do you match? Does this shirt smell so bad?
You know, this is what happens in a society where all the fundamental problems of life are solved. Star Trek We believed that if humanity ended hunger, poverty and homelessness, we would use our free time to study Shakespeare, study the violin, and become scholars and well-known citizens. Well, America is finally moving towards solving those problems, and what will it do? New York Times Do readers do it in that extravagant time? Watch reality TV, worship Rachel Madow, pretending that a non-existent dress code suppresses them.

Maybe that means wearing thick boots with a big tread rather than a stiletto. Maybe that means concert tee under the suit jacket. Maybe it's just a pair of tailored dark denim jeans and a crunchy button-up shirt and cuff link with French cuffs. Maybe it's rejecting the code switch.
Okay, I'll admit that… I've been wearing the flashiest Christmas tie ever made all year round (including flashlights) and protesting the dress code.
Honestly, does it kill the left and put your tongue in your cheek? Or does self-involving illness make it impossible?
