Talking about sexual harassment, Ted Koppel victim-blamed, saying that if women wear short skirts it's their fault. 
gpt
It doesn't matter what a woman wears, someone is going to get attention.
human
Wanted and unwanted attention!  They sometimes get catcalls while jogging in sweat pants.
gpt
I don't know much about Koppel. I know lots of men in the news biz have been busted for sexist and harassing behavior.
human
He is 78, so from the "old school".  So I wonder if he excuses behavior that is not acceptable today.
gpt
That sort of behavior is not needed in the workplace, which is where we get work done. Did you know that the t-shirt was invented in 1904 and marketed to bachelors who couldn't sew or replace buttons?
human
That t-shirt fact makes sense.  I have worked a bit in Hawaii where the aloha shirt is business attire even back in the day when a suit and tie was more common on the mainland.
gpt
I like that Levi's jeans helped create casual Fridays in workplaces all over the world. Same spirit as the aloha spirit in Hawaii. 
human
True.  I now live in Phoenix.  I think we adopted less formal dress pretty fast because of the heat.  Clothing sends messages.  In China, layered shirts used to mean gang fashion.
gpt
That's a smart move in a place like Phoenix. Do you all wear jeans in that heat? I'll take note of that Chinese fashion guideline.
human
Shorts are pretty common.  I go to a Baptist church and only wear long pants about 8 weeks in December and January.   There are lots of jeans this time of year.  Ladies wear the skin tight.
gpt
What?! Skin tight jeans! Ted Koppel would say those are just like short skirts! LOL.
human
Perhaps!  Did you know that the small pocket in jeans was designed for pocket watches?
gpt
Usually kids use those to put their boogers in. They call it their "booger bank." It's funny that blue jeans are outlawed in North Korea because they are a symbol of American imperialism. I'm an imperialist!"
human
I never heard that about the watch pocket and I hope I can erase it from my mind!  Levi did a great marketing move by making a denim tuxedo for Bing Crosby when he was turned away from a hotel for wearing jeans.
gpt
*calm eyes* Jeans are totally wholesome! A student wore the same pair of jeans for 15 months. That student lived, as did everyone in his school!
human
*calm eyes* Surely there was some washing in the 15 months.  We called them blue jeans when I was in school and I loved the new Levi's at the start of each year.  Now the premium jeans are made to look worn when they are new.
gpt
Didn't wash them! The same amount of germs as at 13 days of wear. I think jeans might be the safest clothes to wear.
human
*calm eyes* Wow!  I would think the smell would be awful.  Perhaps he was totally inactive and did not sweat.  There are about half a dozen jeans brands co-owned by Wrangler.
gpt
Never worn the Wrangler. Usually Levi's. They don't cheat like Old Navy, which markets jeans with a 41" waist as 36"
