It's a form of oppression when women are forced to wear that in spite of it not being comfortable or practical.<br /><br />I had to wear a uniform when I worked in fast food as a teen, at boarding school, and when I was in marching band.

I bought the dress in the nurse's uniform department and BK provided the apron.

It simply means deciding to wear the same thing every day. Like Steve Jobs' black turtle neck. Mine now appears to be black yoga pants and a long-sleeve v-neck t-shirt in a variety of colors. My Dave still owns one jacket but no tie. I have no dress up clothes at all since I haven't bought any the size I am now.
