The Senate passed a resolution Wednesday to make business attire a requirement on the Senate floor.

The moves comes after backlash to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-N.Y.) directive to scuttle the chamber’s informal dress code, which was widely viewed to be inspired by Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.).

The bipartisan resolution requires that business attire be worn on the floor of the Senate, “which for men shall include a coat, tie, and slacks or other long pants.”

The bill does not spell out what the attire includes for women.

    If they didn’t specify a dress code for women then he should just change his pronoun. That would get them all in a tizzy!

        Oh no! We wouldn’t want to offend pearl-clutching tone-policing bigots; that would be terrible!

            They should know better than anyone to respect people’s chosen pronouns.

              I think it’s more the disingenuous nature of “changing your pronouns” to in effect make a point.

              Also it kinda gives those weirdos like “I’ll just go into the women’s restroom and say I’m a woman if questioned; love this system” some undeserved ground (granted I think gendered restrooms are a bit silly).
