To spagal, perhaps the spirit of the guidelines should be that there not be any sex discrimination and that everyone should be treated equally in so far as providing an elegant atmosphere to the lounge i.e. if men must wear long pants than women should have to wear skirts or dresses and not be accepted wearing plain shorts which looked less dressy than what I was wearing.

To cordelli, its not about legs showing on a woman, its about creating an elegant atmosphere which should be applied to both men and women.
