'Ok guys, lock that door, we gotta have a 'meeting' about this 'woman' situation going on around here. First off, I don't know how in this world these broads made it to the positions they now hold. I think we All know the 'position' that we like them in the Best, if you get my 'meaning'. Now, a lot of you fellows have ask me, 'Mitch, how are we gonna get a handle on these broads that think they can just come out in Public dressed just any ol' way tjhey want to?'. Now here...'s what we're gonna do boys. I don't know how they handle a situation as serious as This in Other States, but here in Kansas I think we All know what to do. If you boys remember back in the good ol' days of the 1950's we Men had Control of our Women, and when we said Jump, they asked 'How High Sir'. They had to wear long dresses, no high heel shoes that made'em taller than us, no Pants or Shorts where they'd try to dress like Men, none of that loud make-up and gaudy lipstick, and God forbid they should try to drive a car, or get a job that a Man should be doing. A 'good' woman was one that stayed at home, in the kitchen, and pregnant, preferably by her ever 'faithful' Husband. Somehow we let those wonderful days slip away from us, and Now look at what's happening! Good Lord, they're wearing dresses, and skirts above their naked knees! That's right boys, Naked legs! And just look at those Shirts they're wearing! You can actually See their naked breasts, or at least a lot of it. It's so darn distracting that you can't help but Look, and wonder what Else is in there! They are tempting us on purpose boys! We're not getting a darn thing Done around here because of it! Where's their Morals gone for cryin' out loud!? Don't they have Husbands? Well, it's up to Us to reel those loose women in boys! From now on it's gonna be 1950 all over agin around here! We gotta set some Woman 'rules' so they know where their 'place' in life is. If they want to be 'lawmakers' they are gonna have to Follow some 'Laws' first. Those short dresses and Skirts are Banned! No more High Heels! They gotta wear Shirts with Collars buttoned all the way up, no more teasing us with those golden globes! They gotta have Woman haircuts, and little if Any makeup. No more Naked legs, stockings will take care of That little problem. We rule the roost boys, we don't need no Rules or guidelines for Our Dress Code, we Men already know how to do it. And Now these frivilous Women are gonna learn, or they gotta go! :/ :/ :/
Female Lawmakers In Kansas Are Not Having It With This Bullsh*t Dress Code
"Oh, for crying out loud, what century is this?"

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A dress code imposed by a Kansas Senate committee chairman that prohibits women testifying on bills from wearing low-cut necklines and miniskirts is drawing bipartisan ridicule from female legislators.
Sen. Mitch Holmes' 11-point code of conduct does not include any restrictions on men, who he said needed no instruction on how to look professional, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported (http://bit.ly/1TbpCGt ).

"Oh, for crying out loud, what century is this?" Sen. Laura Kelly, a Topeka Democrat, said Thursday.
Holmes, a 53-year-old Republican from St. John who is chairman of the Senate Ethics and Elections Committee, said he wrote the instruction because provocatively dressed women are a distraction. The guidelines don't detail a minimum skirt length or a permissible neckline for blouses.
"It's one of those things that's hard to define," Holmes said. "Put it out there and let people know we're really looking for you to be addressing the issue rather than trying to distract or bring eyes to yourself."
Holmes said he considered requiring men to wear suits and ties during testimony but decided males didn't need any guidance. He expects lobbyists to understand the rules when interacting with his committee, although he acknowledged infrequent visitors to the Statehouse might be unaware.
Female senators said no one should impose gender-specific demands on those testifying before committees.
"Who's going to define low-cut?" said Sen. Vicki Schmidt, a Topeka Republican. "Does it apply to senators?"
Sen. Carolyn McGinn, a Sedgwick Republican, said people who don't have clothes that meet Holmes' standards might be deterred from testifying.
"I am more interested in what they have to say about the direction our state should go than what they're wearing that day," McGinn said.
Wichita Sen. Oletha Faust-Goudeau, the ranking Democrat on the Senate's elections and ethics committee, said people testifying before committees ought to present themselves in a professional way but she was put off by the lack of consistency for men and women.
"In my 13 years in the Legislature, that's the first time I've ever read anything like that," Faust-Goudeau said. "I thought it was a little strange."
Senate President Susan Wagle, a Wichita Republican, predicted the committee will reconsider the dress code Wednesday at its next meeting. Wagle, who is a member of the committee but wasn't present when the rules were given to members, indicated she isn't inclined to intervene personally.
"The legislative process eventually always evolves to a consensus of the majority without leadership having to take action," she told The Associated Press.
Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, a Topeka Democrat, told the AP that the "irony" of the dress code was that it came from a committee that "should be more concerned about violations of campus finance law than what women wear."
"Coming from a man, I think it's important that women are supported in the choices that they make for themselves," he said.
