Here's the quote in context:

>the dress code for the daytime sessions is business casual. For the Awards Dinner on Tuesday evening, we're trying to step it up a bit and ask that you dress cocktail casual (Men: blazer/sport coat, stacks, suit, Women: short but somewhat formal dress and heels)

(emphasis in original)

Point being, the original quote is asking both men and women to dress up, but the article implies, with its clickbait headline, that it’s only asking women how to dress.

And, yes, I'm still very frustrated at how, in the mid-2010s, the outrage press strongly implied that the scientific consensus states that Alcoholics Anonymous has a 5% success rate. Actually, that was just the opinion of one medical doctor and that 5% figure does not come from a peer reviewed study; the mainstream consensus is that Alcoholics Anonymous works great for the 25% or so of alcoholics who actually go to meetings regularly.
