Modern women won’t be satisfied until they’ve succeeded in turning every last male into a gelding.
Apologized in a “trembling voice”....what a pansy.
I have to say, I worked in PhD level R&D for over a decade. I NEVER saw anyone wearing something like this. Ever.
Then again, I worked in corporate. Where we had a dress code. And were apparently higher class individuals.
This is a Saturday go to the farmers market shirt. Or a bowling shirt. Or a ‘hey, let’s go get a beer’ shirt. Clearly not an ‘announce to the world a discovery’.
Look at old pictures of the generation that put us on the moon and their work clothes. Compare and contrast and see how far we’ve fallen, culturally, since then.
A PhD astrophysics grunt working for NASA in the 1950’s and 1960’s wouldn’t have to be TOLD that this was inappropriate for work. And there were close to zero women in those jobs back then to be offended if he did so.
His apology notwithstanding, I wonder at the maturity of a grown man who would wear such a thing work. Unless he worked tending bar. A seedy bar.
