any guy in it just for women to wear skimpier clothing should probably be investigated.

Dress codes for restaurants (jackets and ties required), dress codes for gas stations (no shirts, no shoes, no service)

Now this is goofy... comparing a private business telling you what you're allowed to wear in their business versus a state mandating what you can or can't wear? Come on, man...

dress codes for schools (uniforms)

We have all sorts of extra restricted rights for children. They don't have a lot of rights most adults do in public schools. Free speech is greatly restricted... should the state then extend these restrictions to the wider public because it happens in public schools for children?

Calling this idea goofy when making a false equivalence that should be dispelled with a 101 level understanding of government is the soul of throwing stones from a glass house, dude.

There are definitely arguments for restricting this kind of thing, but not this one, this is just silly.
