5. To similarly bar women from wearing ear rings, even though this is considered quite acceptable in society at large, reduces the process to the extremely childish and selfish level of †˜if I canââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢t have it, then nobody else can.ââ‚ ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢ There is no need to ban women from wearing ear rings, so in a mature and adult fashion we just let them get on with it.

1. Certain sections of society are against gays too but that shouldnt mean they arent allowed in the police force.
2. The police force lose repect in various ways, just because people prejudge people who wear earrings doesnt mean they should be pandered too. Still applies to women as well.
3. Wearing an earring is not just about expression, again it applies to women as well as men.
4. Again its discrimmination against men. Women wearing earrings on duty is just as bad its only people predudice that makes men wearing earrings seem wrong.
5. No, the immature attitude is that its wrong for men to wear earrings in general.
I do not need to explain why its discrimination, the definition of the word is enougth.
