I feel sorry for men who have to wear pants

I can wear a dress to work and nobody criticizes me. I’d be really sad if I had to wear pants all the time, they’re just not as comfortable. Let’s normalize pretty dresses for dudes!

If the corporate policy doesn't explicitly require you to wear pants (or prohibit shorts), then just go ahead and wear em I reckon, they can't fire you for wearing shorts.

they can’t fire you for wearing shorts.

True, but they can disrespect you for failing to fit in with the corporate culture. Honestly, I'd rather be fired.

There are plenty of workplaces where you can wear "whatever you want", and I'm happy to work at one of those... But the clothes you choose to wear still has consequences. I can totally turn up to work in a full suit/tie/etc if I want. But I'd stick out like a sore thumb.
