  • She's got legs

    Who Wears Short Shorts (and skirts).

    A veteran Alabama news reporter was nearly barred from witnessing an execution Thursday because her skirt was too short and her heels were inappropriate, but was allowed to do her job after donning a pair of fisherman’s waders.



    “I have worn this skirt to prior executions without incident, to work, professional events and more and I believe it is more than appropriate,” Hrynkiw said later on Twitter. At 5′10″ with my heels on, I am a tall and long-legged person.”


    As written, the dress code is discriminatory.

    Betts provided an online link to a prison visitation dress code, which states that “all dresses, skirts, and pants shall extend below the knee (females only). Splits/Slits must be knee length or lower (females only).”


    Hrynkiw should have said, "I'm identifying as a cross-dressing man today." In that case, she would have been in compliance with the letter of the dress code.

    Actually, I think that the dress code provides options for wimmenfolk that us men don't get.

      Yeah that dress code is indeed discriminatory and a bit disturbing. I could go in with a kilt shorter than what she wore according to that.

      (Though the more disturbing part is the viewing of the government executing someone - end the death penalty)

          The code is clearly discriminatory. The outfit doesn't look inappropriate.

          But is no one else disturbed about people getting dolled up to watch the government abuse its power in order to murder someone?

            Found the dress code. There appears to be two sections describing appropriate dress.

            The first is for "visitors and inmates" The second is for "Legal visits." They are largely the same, except that the legal one requires "business casual" (which obviously a kilt would not fit)

            I'm not positive which one a reporter witnessing an execution would fall under. Obviously, not a lawyer, but a professional witnessing an execution doesn't really fall under the second either.

                  I don't know if that's what she wore on the day in question since she appears to be wearing shorts in the picture and not a skirt. That just seems to be the most popular image associated with this particular story.

                  But we can be pretty certain that the only reason it was ever an issue is because she's tall, slim, and attractive. Now if the woman was short, fat, and unattractive, I bet no one would have dared to challenge her attire.

                      You could as a man technically take dress pants, cut them into the shortest short-shorts you could imagine, and be okay under that code technically

                        The only thing good about it is that it keeps Mississippi away from our border.

                        That said, as noted a kilt can be part of dress formal wear.

                          I still think y'all are reading it wrong. Men aren't allowed to wear skirts or shorts but women can if they meet their criteria.

                            Doesn't read that way to me. Other than business/business casual there's no limitation on a man's attire or the length of that attire in the code.

                              I know things are rapidly changing, but is there anywhere in the western world where "business/business casual" for a man includes wearing a skirt?
