Twilight zone

They want women to dress like men....but not men to dress like women... do I have that right

These damn Republics have totally lost their minds. Sounds like what the women in Iran are fighting about covering their hair. WOMEN STAND UP FOR OUR RIGHTS!

Well maybe just go to the Supreme Court🤷‍♀️

If they don’t abide by rules they should quit

Biden still gave top secret documents to a CCP funded think tank. He's a traitor and has sold out the US don't be distracted by blazers.

True 2nd Amendment 😀

They should all show up in BURKAS

The Taliban says it's a start, at least.

As usual, Democrats are 100% correct. The right to Bare Arms in the Missouri state house is very dangerous. It's a time bomb just waiting for one of the crazy GOPbers to shoot someone.

They call it freedom and liberty

A lot of people that can’t read follow 😂

I mean…what does MissouriGOP say about GymJordan’s dress in HouseGOP? Do men in MO’s state house get reprimanded if they take their jackets off on the floor, or just the women? Pretty sure there might be more pressing matters for gop to worry about than regulating dress codes

What are the rules for men?

xseane The first week should have every woman in the Missouri House go sleeveless. This is childish.

This is wild to me. But y’all keep voting republican, 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

AP=Always pathetic

Most definitely not

How much derp can you people possibly hold? 'Oh no! I'm a woman and have to follow a dress code just like my male counterparts!' How unfair.

Women should not be bullied by men in the women’s sports.

So women are being treated equal. What is the crying about?

Runaway inflation, global geopolitical situations simmering, climate crisis, a failing supply chain, and what does the GOP do as they take control Dress code and allow cigar smoking in Congress. Priorities.

WTF

The women should demand that the guys are not allowed to man spread 🤔🤨🇺🇸

Ohhhh wow great I’m sure that will help the $8 a dozen for eggs

reagan was right about one thing, at least .. I'll give you one guess.

Easy to solve. Claim you are a man and wear a dress. Done!

Why is that ridiculous? Sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

This sounds very much like a Taliban-like move.

The American Taliban strikes again!!!

Let freedom ring in Columbia!

I mean you would want him to wear a coat too.

I agree, women shouldn’t be made to wear what they don’t want. As long as men can show up in shorts and T-shirt’s

Imagine both-sidesing THIS.

tyranny….

Women are required to wear the same jacket or blazer that a man is. Period. Stop making a big deal of this.

They now have the same bussines attire dress code for everyone. And you are against this equality?

What are men expected to wear? Oh, same dress code? Where’s the story here?

Maybe they should show up without any clothing below the waist

The party of small government brings you the forced dress code for women.

What are policies for the men?

While you're at it, replace that hideous looking carpet!

I guess these Republican men are just so masculine they can’t control themselves if women have uncovered arms.

Republicans = American Taliban.

Ridiculousness.

Absolutely ridiculous. I really believe republicans have lost their minds. Are they the American Taliban? The party really needs to be disbanded and a new political party with American ideals needs to be born. The gop is just too corrupt.

These politicians have a lot of time on their hands' boi. Wow. Our country's debt is only US$400 million. Here is a discussion: pay it off. Thanks.

Christian Republicans are the new Taliban…..

Missouri women should fight back and request men to wear bras.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅

Sometimes you need to tell adults how to dress or this happens.

Not unlike dress codes in public schools, where the goal is to eliminate distraction to better focus on the important issues of the day.

Horny f**king men.

Weirdo Americans

It's called business attire and sleevless attire doesn't say business attire.

People don’t read articles. They get incensed by headlines (written to incense). New GOP rules in the Missouri House require women to wear a jacket (such as a blazer or cardigan) like men, who must wear a suit & tie.

“Republican Rep. Ann Kelley, who introduced the amendment, said it cleans up language in current House rules so that the dress code for women will mirror the dress code for men.” Sounds like equality, but then again, I’m just a dumb white guy.

1st our bodies, now our clothes, next we'll have to stay in the kitchen and have a man to open a checking accout

this is being blown out of proportion to create division. read the actual rules

Amend it for ugly men with big ears.

otoh Goose, gander.

Another election losing proposition from the uncivilized Republican Party….this is straight out of the Talibans playbook.

Yeah, of all the things a legislative body should be arguing about, a flipping jacket seems to be waaaaay low on the list.

Allthe women should just show up bare-armed and see what happens…

“We are the party of limited government! The democrats want to control your entire lives!” GOP gets into power… “You are actually required to wear something to cover your arms if you are a woman in our sacred house.”

Only men should be policed on their attire right? Who cares that this just made the dress code equal for men and women. OUTRAGE SELLS

Sorry, but what was the pressing issue that required this response?

They were already required to wear blazers. It was amended to include cardigans.

Ignore it.

How many women serve in the House?

Definition of misogyny

They’re bringing the Christian version of sharia law to America

Republicans always fighting for the priority issues, I see. 🙄

Maybe EVERYONE should have to wear a jacket or sweater to cover their arms while the legislature is in session!

They should all show up in red and white...robes and bonnets!!

Don’t follow it make them stop you

We’re not giving the copy editor who wrote this hed enough love here 💪🏻

How is this even possible? Have ya seen what’s been going on in Iran?

That will fix inflation…

They have the same dress code for men. So 'the House dress code should only apply to men' is the Dem argument? Such strange times we live in.

🙄

So Jim Jordan must wear a jacket too!

is the state of Missouri being run by the Taliban?

Let US woman GO NUDE

Wait...now they know what a woman is? That's the real story.

The Missouri GOP MSGOP are afraid the bare arms of a woman will excite sexual perversity which Republicans are so familiar with and such experts at it may encourage them to display their true colors, perverse religious bigots. Americas Taliban=modern day Republican Party.

To be fair, the rule also applies to men who think their women.

Women never happy😂😂😂

This act will galvanize women to vote Democrat in 2024. Good job old, fat, white dudes.

Between this and Josh Hawley, I hesitate to say I live here.

Democrats meltdown over Missouri House rules clarifying dress codeDemocrats in the Missouri House staged a meltdown over an effort by Republicans to clarify the chamber’s dress code. Forcing women to cover their arms is not authoritarianish. The Democrats should get with the conservative program and treat women as second-class citizens. Cover the arms shoulders and tits ladies. This is senseless. Why can’t people wear jeans? I mean what are you coming there for to wear something so outdated in society now but it gives you control to say wear this not that? Seriously? Suits & dresses do absolutely nothing for what’s at steak for the state! Senseless.

Missouri lawmakers adopt stricter dress code for women in state HouseWomen hold less than a third of the seats in the Missouri House, which is made up of 116 men and 43 women, according to the state House site. Republicans really have their finger on the pulse of issues that matter to everyone - controlling what women are allowed to do and aren't allowed to do. Is Missouri a Mormon state? How about a Muslim state? Then what the f*** are they attempting to tell any American how to f****** dress. How many women have been proposed by Ann Kelley? Sentence structure matters.
