Now, I totally understand your viewpoint on the dress controversy - and I agree with the men. In my case, I started out in practice in button down oxford shirts and workpants - and couldn't get men to look me in the eye when I talked to them. Dress in layered t-shirt, scrubs and smock - and they ignored the large squishy things on my front and paid attention to the words coming out of my mouth.
I think it all depends on your situation. "There is no one, true way"
