Before 1993, women weren’t allowed to wear pants on the Senate floor. That changed when Sen. Moseley Braun (D-IL), & Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) wore trousers - shocking the male-dominated Senate. This eventually led to the dress code being clarified to allow women to wear pants. Credit: Liberal Jane Illustration https://www.liberaljane.com #history #uspol

it's funny though because when you say "that's sexist" they roll their eyes. but when it come to any form of affirmative action or something they say "that's racist" -

@Sheril That was around the time I saw my grandma (b. 1922) wearing slacks for the first time in my memory.
