good move! u don't see men allowed into high end restaurants, clubs n work in short pants do u? u don't see men wearing microshorts casually in public or during stage performance right? unless a policy is launched to encourage all boys/men to expose with microshorts in hot weather, otherwise I'm wholly against women taking advantage of miniskirt rights
