Since the episode seems to be in the contest of Greg telling this story to everyone specifically , with the Gems present , rather than in private like past flashbacks , I wonder if this ' ll be a more lighthearted story than we first thought . Less grief and mourning and more focus on change and progress . Note lighthearted , as in Sworn to the Sword , not Rose ' s Scabbard . <| sep |> This was a really interesting article , but I ' m not quite sure it changed the way I feel about professional attire . Institutions and companies have some right to ask their employees to present themselves appropriately for the job . In some workplaces , this is done with a uniform . Sometimes that uniform is practical I . e . Firefighters and sometimes it ' s purely for the look donut shop employees , anyone ? . The law student in the article is questioning the white privilege and bias inherent in a particular institution the law that goes far beyond how people are expected to dress . I ' m not sure that ' s a problem she can solve just by showing off her tattoos . I agree that no one should feel that they have to suppress their identity in the workplace , but is her identity not also now ' a lawyer ' and isn ' t some of that wrapped up in wearing the uniform of lawyers ? What about people who work in IT or the new tech industries who purposely underdress to represent themselves appropriately . I ' m sure some of them would rather dress like bankers , but don ' t feel comfortable because of the new norms of dress in those industries that are not tied to established ideas of professionalism . I think the problem isn ' t that all institutions define professionalism by old boys ' club standards , but that sometimes we can feel uncomfortable if we choose an industry that requires us to alter the way we dress . What we do becomes a part of our identity , and we ' d like to be happy with what that means . Edit for clarity
