    I'm all for the "textile" only rule. But I've said before and I'll say again, I think it is gender discrimination to limit coverage. A woman can gain advantages by a suit covering her torso, and so should a man. Either that, or women gotta start showing off the goods while wearing briefs/jammers only. I'm with you on that one, Muppet. That's been my take all along - have one standard for both genders.
