Before 1993, women weren’t allowed to wear pants on the Senate floor. That changed when Sen. Moseley Braun (D-IL), & Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) wore trousers - shocking the male-dominated Senate. This eventually led to the dress code being clarified to allow women to wear pants. Credit: Liberal Jane Illustration https://www.liberaljane.com #history #uspol

@Sheril I had to wear dresses/skirts in Elementary School until they changed the dress code when I was in 5th grade.

It’s absurd.

@Sheril Also: are men on the Senate floor allowed to wear Kilts?πŸ€”
@mlanger @Sheril asking the real questions.

@mlanger @Sheril

you mean "non-bifurcated trousers"
