A nice way of saying that they’ve abandoned the dress code.

My question would be.....do you even have to wear clothing? I’m one of the “free-as-a-bird” types and would prefer to take all tests and exams with nothing on. Surely, they could accommodate me.

This brings back a technique that I heard about way back in high school. What they did was tell the basketball team to not use deodorant for the two days prior to their big games.
They stunk so much that the other team had to back off on defense, giving them a huge advantage.
In this case, yea, I can see dressing as drag queen during these exams...although, in England, it may not even turn heads anymore.

Well, if they can wear kilts, not much difference.

I don't even know many or any girls that would wear a skirt to an exam. Sweats and a T-shirt worked very well for me, thank god I didn't attend Oxford and have to wear any ceremonial garb.
Skirts are uncomfortable for long exams, and if a guy wants to wear one to a big test, it just proves he's nuts, although he may be lacking said anatomy.

How does wearing pants make testing “stressful”?
To: markomalley
Just imagine a man sitting for a morality and ethics exam dressed in high heels and a skirt. If I were the instructor, it would be an automatic FAIL.

The one poor proud Scotish guy will now have to spend his entire time there saying “No I’m not one of them!”

Most women don’t even wear skirts anymore. They must not keep up with the fashion these days.

Bill Clinton is lucky this wasn't the rule back in the day when you had a hard time telling the hes from the shes based strictly on haircut.

Being naked is more natural than a desire to wear the clothing of the opposite sex.
We are born naked. Clothing is determined by culture (and trends) and social values.
There is no gene to “wear the clothing of the OTHER sex”.

Men don’t wear lace panties under a kilt.
