The news reports I heard on the radio said that it was only sexist because
the new dress code imposed by his employer required men to wear a shirt and
tie women were still allowed to where tee shirts.

As tee shirts are clearly a unisex item of clothing that dress code is
clearly
sexiest.  If the code require women to ware a blouse I don't think he would
have
won.

As a tie is considered to be part of a "smart" man's dress code but not a
woman's
I would thing that that case would be the important one.  Does someone on
this
list who's wife is a lawyer agree with me here - or am I way of the mark.
