Missouri House of Representatives Adopts Stricter Dress Code for Women, Sparking Debate Over Professionalism and Equality

Missouri House of Representatives has adopted a stricter dress code for women, requiring them to cover their shoulders with a jacket, which was proposed by Republican state Rep. Ann Kelley. The amendment sparked outrage from some Democrats who argued it was sexist, to which Rep. Kelley responded by asking if they knew what it felt like to have men in the room deciding if an outfit was appropriate or not. The debate over the dress code amendment is likely to continue.
