In which kind of wasteland do you live in where young men who work don't wash nor groom themselves? Clearly we don't live in the same planet because on my planet, young men are highly professional and they groom themselves and they often wear more appropriate clothing then young girl simply because men follow a more strick clothing code than women do. Do you live on mars or something?

Ooh, touchy. Struck a nerve there.

Funny how men love laughing about broad stereotypes until the laugh's on them.

The whole reason men wear a stricter dress code at work is because their bosses don't trust them to be able to dress themselves without a guide book. My friend is high up in IBM but when he got poached to there in his early twenties the dress code was wear whatever you like but no trainers so he used to go in on his pajamas and smart leather shoes.

IBM ... pajamas and smart leather shoes

Classic hacker move. Don't think he wasn't smart enough to know what he was doing!

Dress code is also to level the playing field and focus on the job. People want to be noticed at work, so some reasonable limits are understandable of course.

We all know that geek who always stands too close and whose breath smells like zebra excrement.
