Female clothing equality

[Jonathan Buhacoff]

Excerpt from the proposed right of equal opportunity:

No government or person shall require a female to wear clothing or accessories where males are not equally required to wear the same clothing or accessories. No government or person shall prohibit a female from wearing certain clothing or accessories where males are not equally prohibited from wearing the same clothing or accessories.

Intent:

The right to equal opportunity protects females from discrimination in clothing policies.

Discussion:

Some examples include: If males are allowed to be topless at a place such as a park or beach then females must also be allowed to be topless there. If males are not required to wear skirts at school then females must also not be required to wear skirts at school. If males are not required to wear bras then females must also not be required to wear bras. If a workplace requires wearing pants, steel-toe boots, and hard hats then it applies to both males and females. If a combat sport requires wearing groin protection, then both males and females must wear groin protection, and each participant may choose a shape of groin protection that works best for them as long as it meets the same minimum requirements regarding protection from impact.

The “not be required to” wording is important because many women may choose to wear a top or a bra but if they choose to go without where men are allowed to go without, they should not fear the government.
