Legally, yes, it's gender discrimination, and that overrides any kind of boss's opinion or wishes. But you might want to see it from his point of view. Our society looks down upon anything especially out of the ordinary (unfortunately,) and it is also very judgemental. People could make many right/wrong assumptions about a guy wearing eyeliner, and give the store a bad name. Of course, this is never always the case, but in business, you have to be more 'professional' and not 'expressive.' I would suggest that if your boss insults you or you feel like you've been discriminated, in that he told you he'd fire youif you wore eyeliner anymore, I would talk to someone legal about your rights. Now, I would talk to him and try to find a compromise if that's at all possible.

thanks! =]

Hii I'm Mel. I've been through a lot and I've been my own counseler way too many times, so I've basically dissected many situations. You could call me crazy, whatever, we all are. I kind of have a borderline insane interest in the idea of fashion and creativity, and also in the French Revolution. I LOVE music, I could give you the soundtrack of my life for a million dollars. Umm yeah that's it. BY THE WAY, I would very much like to have a line forming all the way outside the funeral home the day of my wake. :)
