Your assertion is not supported by the facts. procon Oct 2017 #86

Here are how highly regarded men and women dress at the same serious televised event muriel_volestrangler Oct 2017 #168

As a private citizen, she can dress anyway she likes, yeah? Adding an eye roll here.🙄 nt procon Oct 2017 #169

Yes, Ruhle is a private citizen. Has it taken you that long to figure that out? muriel_volestrangler Oct 2017 #170

I see what you did there. Here's the thing that you're trying to sidestep... lo these many days. procon Oct 2017 #171

It's notable that you have this ridiculous idea that a dress with bare shoulders is the equivalent muriel_volestrangler Oct 2017 #172

What, you ask? Why, because those who want to see career women procon Oct 2017 #173

The OP is the problem. It does NOT respect Ruhle for "intellect, experience and skills" muriel_volestrangler Oct 2017 #174

I don't want to imitate a man in my attire...that is a sexist approach that harkens back to the 70's Demsrule86 Oct 2017 #161
