The Republican-controlled Missouri House of Representatives approved changes to the chamber's dress code preventing women legislators from showing bare arms.
' decision on Wednesday to tighten the dress code for women legislators has sparked criticism and outrage on social media, with many questioning why no similar rules were imposed on men.
The proposed changes reportedly originated in last year's session, when several lawmakers complained that some of their female colleagues weren't dressed at the required standard. The update was immediately bashed by Missouri House, who questioned whether changes to the chamber's dress code were really that high on the list of priorities.
