【Taste of Younger Sister in law (2025)】

In the brutal throes of the Washington,Taste of Younger Sister in law (2025) D.C. summer, female reporters are reportedly getting barred from the Speaker's lobby for -- wait for it -- wearing sleeveless dresses.

According to a CBS News report, one "young, female" reporter even tried to craft makeshift sleeves out of notebook paper to avoid being ejected. (It didn't work.) On Twitter, CQ Roll Call reporter Kellie Mejdrich said she was told she'd be removed from the Speaker's lobby if she wore a sleeveless dress again.

It's clear the issue of attire in the House is important to Speaker/muscle shirt wearer Paul Ryan. In late June, he even took time to remind lawmakers to wear "appropriate business attire" -- which means suits for men, sleeved dresses or suits for women, and closed-toed shoes for all.

But, unfortunately, we can't quite blame Ryan for the Great Sleeve Crackdown of '17. Like many bullshit dress codes, Sleevegate rears its ugly, patriarchal head every summer when the weather heats up, no matter which party is in charge.

Meanwhile, Ivanka Trump, Melania Trump, and towel charm mogul Karen Pence continue to wear as many sleeveless dresses as they want. To play us out, a short gallery:
