5. Any objection to men in congress wearing tights and codpieces?

I think its time for men in congress to drop the power suit. Casual wear should be allowed- part of the reason for the dress code was projecting power with suit and tie. the other was to keep the men from beating up on each other (men used to tend to get emotional and combative-maybe still do).

I hope myremraks are not seen as sexist-but there have been incidents of violence in state legislatures and US Congress.
