No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I get to go old school with this reference. Basically male and female circulation systems act differently in cold weather. Men tend to keep blood flowing to all their extremities in cold weather, women tend to keep your core temperature consistent and reduce the flow of blood to extremities.
So men don't feel as cold, but they're burning more energy, and their core temperature can dip more. Women feel colder, but they're core temperature is more stable, and doesn't dip as much.
In real life we experienced this as women are often colder in the same environment men are comfortable in. Because of physiological differences in blood flow during cold weather events.
So legs stockings are both an effort to keep the body warmer, be fashionable, and maybe do some body shaping. But you're more likely to see them in the winter, in colder climates.
Anecdotal data: in Southeast Asia I never see leggings, even in " winter ". In Japan I see leggings all the time.
This makes sense. But it doesn't explain why I have to wear a jacket and pants to work everyday while the colder-extremities-sex wears sleeveless dresses.
I feel it would work better for everyone if we all switched to long, flowing, wizard robes (short or long sleeve optional) in all professional fields.
Bring up your dress code with your employer. Tell them you are concerned it is not inclusive enough. My boss very quickly added that the pictures are just guidelines and if it falls within the office appropriate "business casual" guidelines then it's fine. Our dress code genderless and allows for cultural clothing even though it didn't specify that.
I agree with the robes though. Summer climates especially require a more Middle Eastern type clothing. Light layers, light colours, and lots of airflow.
Yes tell your boss you're worried about the dress code inclusivity and then ask for a raise lmao

Human culture is weird. Just go with the flow
Leggings are extremely popular here in Québec, Canada. Always have been. Anecdotal data that confirms your anecdotal date.
