Results: Kim Campbell: Bare arms undermine credibility and gravitas!
Published on 02/13/2018
Kim Campbell is admonishing female news anchors who wear sleeveless dresses on the air, calling the bare-armed attire "demeaning."
The former prime minister tweeted her displeasure, saying "bare arms undermine credibility and gravitas."
She pointed to an essay by U.S. speaking coach Nick Morgan for back-up, who asserts in a blog post that "if you show up in front of us with skin exposed, we're going to think about your body."

On her verified Twitter account, Campbell said: "I am struck by how many women on television news wear sleeveless dresses — often when sitting with suited men." "I have always felt it was demeaning to the women and (Morgan's blog post) suggests that I am right. Bare arms undermine credibility and gravitas!" she wrote on Tuesday morning.
