The protest achieved the goal. How we dress still seems to give definition to who we are. I remember hearing dressing tips for women to have a successful job interview.
It relates to the shorts for men. So there is a point. What we were told is that a woman should wear a dress or skirt to a job interview because wearing pants would be equivalent to a man wearing shorts to an interview.

Sure it is sexist, but that seems to be the current cultural perception of proper dress. Good on those men for challenging current cultural perception and forcing a new dynamic for comfort and acceptance.
