If a woman isn't for sale, she shouldn't advertise.
Quite correct. If you mean business, dress for business. It might not mean the same severe three-piece suits I used to wear but even with all the latitude of women’s clothing, there is appropriate and inappropriate fashion.
When I was a second-year law student I attended a Women in Law convention in San Francisco in about 1980. I should have been a bit less naive but I didn’t even check into the sessions. It was a school trip and about ten of us were packing into a university van and traveling to California so that was enough. I packed my nifty blue 3-piece suit, white button-up shirt and sensible pumps and showed up so attired at the opening session. I thought I’d mistakenly walked into a hippie convention. The dress was slovenly. The hair and makeup (what there was) was slovenly. The attitudes were even worse. This was the anti-feminine era. As a warm-up act, the moderator asked participants to stand up as characteristics applied to them: practicing? students? Californians? Out-of-staters? The shocker for me was when she asked the lesbians to stand up and it appeared that a third to half the audience stood and cheered. Turned out that was how the convention sessions were proportioned. Most were either advocating gay rights or agitating for passing the Equal Rights Amendment. Since I was fulfilling an assignment being there I attended the most innocuous and professional sessions I could (although I checked out the ERA harridans also out of curiosity and to know the enemy) but out of sheer rebelliousness I wore my three-piece suit the entire time. I enjoyed being a temporary radical.
