Can My Company Require Me to Wear Clothes That Are Sexually Provocative Even If I’m Uncomfortable In Them?

I workout and enjoy looking good but I did I do it for me. I work as a front receptionist in a real estate office. They want me to wear short skirts that show my buttocks and portions of my thighs. Can My Company Require Me to Wear Clothes That Are Sexually Provocative Even If I’m Uncomfortable In Them?

The law says that grooming standards or appearance codes that are intended to be sexually provocative and tend to stereotype women as sex objects such as requiring a female to wear a uniform that reveals portions of her thighs and buttocks may constitute sex discrimination.

Is it Illegal for An Airline to Fire A Female Flight Attendant For Gaining Weight But Not A Male Flight Attendant?

I am a female flight attendant. I gained 7 pounds over the winter and was asked not to come back to work until I had lost all 7 pounds. My employer said it negatively impacted my interaction with my customers. My male colleague that flies the same route as me gained 10 pounds and can barely fit down the aisle and is still working. Have I been the victim of sexual discrimination?

By Deskin Law Firm
The law states that discrimination may have occurred when an airline’s policies impose strict weight restrictions on female flight attendants, but no similar restriction on male employees who performed the same or similar functions because it imposed an "undue burden" on the female flight attendants.

Is It Discrimination to Require Me To Wear Makeup And A Bow In My Hair at Work?

I work in a café and they require all the women to wear makeup and bows in their hair. Even though both the men and the women have to uniforms, only the women have to do something more with their hair and face. I think this extra burden on the women is discriminatory. Is it against the law?

By Deskin Law Firm
Many employer’s have what they call a “Personal Best” grooming policy where they require their male and female employees to wear the same uniforms but differentiate between the men and women when it comes to hair, hands and face. Men may not be permitted to wear makeup and might be required to have their hair short while women might be required to wear eye and face makeup. If the "requirement" is imposing an undue burden on the woman as to time and cost to comply and the policy was created to make people conform to sexual stereotypes, then it may be discriminatory.
