I HATE NECKTIES
10 years ago
Hey guys! I have a job interview for a retail assistant role in a couple of days. As expected the job interview is going to be very formal and I must dress for the occation. I honestly don't see the point in this redundant ritual, but I am willing to put up with it. But they made it clear that I need to wear a necktie. I mean they REALLY want me to wear one for this interview. I fucking hate neckties, not only are they a pain to put on, but they serve no functional purpose. But the thing that annoys me most about it is that only men are expected to wear them.
I did a bit research into it and found it is a very immature item of clothing. Not a lot of people know this but it's arrow like shape is suppose to direct viewers attention to the wearers genitals. For fuck sake people I identify as female, I don't want to be forced into an item of clothing that screams, "hey look at me. Look at how much of a male I am!"...
Look, I'm not saying I want to go a job interview in a blouse and a miniskirt (at least not yet) but I should be allowed to forego having to wear an item of clothing that constantly reminds me of what I am on the outside.
Am I being overly drematic? Please share your thoughts.

FA+

I don't indentify as being male. So for me a necktie may as well be a leash around my neck, announcing to the world that I am something I'm not, a man.
Sorry you have to deal with this though. I don't like ties either.
It's just a damn society "everyone does it" thing. I just pray that's a one time thing and you don't have to wear one constantly.
