After all, uniforms can be made such that they look better on a woman. Wouldn't it be possible to have a male cop's uniform and a female cop's uniform?
It depends really on the person. A lot of my friends don't mind the uniform and just say that it makes their morning go much quicker. (I usually figure out why I'm wearing the night before, so a uniform doesn't save me any time). But, there are quite a lot of girls that hate the uniform too. My pathophysiology professor is a huge girlie girl and always has her nails painted red and is dressed to the nines. She's a fairly older woman, but I swear she is me in 50 years. She saw us all sitting in the hall with our uniforms on and said, "You look like that one boy band...ya know...Mmmm bop." Then, she waltzed away. We looked like Hanson...a group of boys with long hair. When we were auscultating heart sounds, we have to displace our partner's breast tissue to listen to the mitral area and in a famous line I said, "I know that your boob is here somewhere under this Walmart shirt!" I think if the shirts weren't made for men, it would be better. But, our nursing school is ultra conservative, so I think it's just going to be this way the next 2 years. They just gave me another scholarship, so I'm going to stop complaining haha. I'll be happier with scrubs and uniforms that fit right...but, I have a hard enough time with women's clothes fitting right let alone having to wear clothes modeled off a male body. I should post a pic on here (if I had one)...it looks like a little girl wearing her dad's work uniform because the shoulders are big and sag forward and it turns into this blimp of a Polo. To be honest, the men don't look much better in it haha

But, yeah, some like the equality of the uniforms and some people hate them. Some people like the no-fuss that it presents at puts everyone at equalfooting, and some find them heinous.

It probably won't be the first or last uniform I hate.
