Girls should not be allowed to wear mini skirts in work related environments.

First of all, I would like to state that my opponent conceded my argument about Foreign businesses, other employees who are made uncomfortable by mini-skirts, and investors who are turned away by miniskirts. Quite simply put, my opponent has conceded that miniskirts do create hostile environments for women and business. Also, if my opponent makes any new points in his next argument, it is abusive, and will result in a full 7 point drop, because I have no chance to respond. I am not making any new arguments, just rebutting. Now for your arguments: C1) Freedom of Expression: Freedoms are limited in workplaces Freedom of expression is only available in an environment that is not controlled by a set of rules. You cannot shout curse words in the middle of a meeting because they are words, and, after all, they are only expression. Expression is limited in many ways in controlled environments, and dress is one of them. C2) Business Environment and what it entails: Keyword is business, Business = professional Lets face it, a person should not wear crocs to work simply because they are not professional, they are for the beach. A person should not wear a sweatshirts and sweatpants should never be worn to work because they are not professional, they are for workouts. Women should not wear yoga pants to work because they are not professional, they are for 15 year old girls and doing yoga. Tattoos are inappropriate for work, so is heavy makeup. So is too much skin. It doesn't matter how simply stellar your legs are, they are simply inappropriate, because they are suggestive. Any skirt that cuts off before the top of the knee are always unprofessional, simply because they show too much skin. Your not a stripper, your a professional. CEO of consolidated graphics says, "Something you would wear to the beach or a nightclub is never appropriate [for work] no matter [how old] you are. "" Dresser Wayne of Dresser, Inc. , "I personally believe that shorts and mini-skirts are unacceptable. " CEO of Guaranty Bank, "I don't like seeing the girls wear short shorts or skirts and big clunky shoes or the guys with the baggy pants. "" Hope Lumber and Supply Company, "For women, keep it professional. .. not short dresses or skirts or cocktail dresses. " Kiewit Offshore Services: "Women - conservative lengthed skirts, or slacks with tailored shirt. " These 5 CEOs all agree, mini-skirts are never appropriate for work. My opponent has provided no evidence to back-up his claim, other than arguments such as "A lot of places incorporate a to the fingertip policy," or "A pencil skirt is a common skirt worn in the work place," and it would be abusive for him to provide actual evidence in his next argument, because I do not have a chance to respond. C3) Relaxed and Casual Dress in Summer: Comfort and Appropriateness are not in conflict. A simple web search of "professional and comfortable women's work clothes" will help any woman interested in finding clothes that are both comfortable and professional. C4) Casual Dress can improve work performance: there are many forms of casual dress that do not include mini-skirts. Employees are not allowed to wear jeans to the office, and they are not even inappropriate! There is a line between what is casual and appropriate for work, and what is casual and inappropriate for work. And mini-skirts fall under the category of casual and inappropriate simply because they are too casual. A woman can dress casually while still dressing in a manner that is appropriate for work. C5) Mini Skirts are just sexy: No Weight This argument simply holds no water because 1. there is no evidence, and 2. workplaces are not meant to be sexy environments C6) They look good on every race/color/and even gender: So do many other things You do not need to wear a mini-skirt to look good. End of story C7) Masturbation: Work places are not brothels The purpose of a brothel is to entice people, not a workplace. Also, workplaces should not encourage people to be enticing. Studies also show that: men who masturbate are at a higher risk of cheating on their wives, and vice versa, men who masturbate are more likely to watch pornography, pornography decreases productivity, pornography greatly increases divorce rates, pornography greatly increases the number of men who cheat on their wives, and vice versa, men who watched porn at one point in their life are at a higher risk for divorce, same for women, men who masturbated regularly at one point in their life are at a higher risk of divorce and cheating, same for women. I could go on and on about all the bad things masturbation can cause, and it is unethical for a workplace to encourage men to cheat on their wives, or women to cheat on their husbands. Conclusion: Mini Skirts are not appropriate for work. They are disliked by employers and employees, they are repulsive to foreign cultures, they cause lost money and investment. Also, freedom of expression is not a right in a workplace, and even if it was, they are still unprofessional. You can be casual and comfortable without being enticing. Also, the fact that their sexy is a negative, because workplaces are not sexy environments. Also, it is unethical for workplaces to become "sexy". And finally, you don't need to wear a mini-skirt to be attractive. All-in-all mini-skirts are, and will remain, inappropriate for work.
