Understandably, it's a somewhat different culture, with a separate set of dress codes, etc.

One that I don't get - female employees are required to wear pantyhose if they wear a skirt or dress, which my wife prefers to do much of the time. She doesn't have a problem with it - but what's the reasoning behind this rule?

It's not sexist so much as it's just a random rule of style. I assume she's also not supposed to wear open-toed shoes, either?

In fact, she actually has a couple of pairs of steel-toe dress "flats" she keeps in her office at work for when she has to venture out to certain areas of the facility where she presently works. Until she found those on-line a few years ago, she occasionally could be seen roaming the "safety-footwear-required" areas of the warehouse in a dress and a pair of good old-fashioned Red Wing wafflestompers if an unexpected problem developed in Production.
