You made a vague appeal to 'moral' discrimination yet without explaining where these morals come from and why they are superior to the morals of someone who disagrees with you. Once again, you seem to believe that you only have to say something is the case in order for it to be true. Not good enough.

You would alllow women to wear earrings but not men, based on yours or other peoples prejudging that men who wear earrings are not to be respected.

Can't make it any plainner than that.
If there's one certainty in all this, it is that you have completely failed to make anything plain.

That I agree with the decision to vary the male/female dress codes is not in dispute. That the reason for this is the prejudice of certain sections of society is not in dispute.

The core issue is discrimination, which in its strict linguistic sense does not necessarily carry any positive or negative meaning.

Can I ask you another question:

Do you believe that discrimination of any kind is ever justified under any circumstances?
