The globe is getting hotter day by day and there are no two facts about that (no, it is not a hoax). While India has just begun to get some respite from the heat with the onset of monsoon, the rest of the world is still grappling under sweltering temperatures!
For example, Britain is currently under the attack of the heat-waves and that is not the worse thing that has happened.
But this is. Joey Barge, a 20-year-old call centre employee from Buckinghamshire was sent back home for wearing ‘inappropriate clothes’ to work. The piece of clothing referred to is a pair of navy blue shorts.
He then took to Twitter to ask an important question!
If women can wear skirts/dresses at work can I wear smart shorts like so? pic.twitter.com/UD0AQ6ZCbP

He wasn’t one to sit and sulk. In an act of defiance, Joey decided to show up wearing a pink dress to work.

Honestly, he was expecting a similar predicament…
See you soon, twitter. I'll be sent home soon. pic.twitter.com/XfFyxDeBAK

When his little act of courage sided on the lines of gender parity!
Partial win? pic.twitter.com/SKh1WcbcR4

Big win, I say!
Needless to mention, Twitter has already hailed him high and rightly so.

This undoubtedly is a leap towards bridging the gender gaps, we see around every day. Hopefully, we will see some more changes!
