people have choice in terms of employers

this is an assumption that is not as automatic as you think

that it's part of a dress code would make sense if flats were unprofessional

but they're not unprofessional

Given that professional and unprofessional clothing are somewhat arbitrary choices, I'm not sure that's really relevant. Plus, in the case of dress codes, there's usually a preferred look where a tux might be far fancier than anything worn in an office and still not be acceptable in the dress code.

Oh, misread the title. At any rate, I don't have an issue with employers mandating that since it's just part of a dress code and, if you don't like it, a million other employers don't have the policy. It's unnecessary government intervention.

Bullshit. It's harmful to employees and shouldn't be required.

If it was actually considered harmful by the government, it would be banned or restricted across the population. Likewise, if you're at an interview and the employer mentions that something is a condition of employment, you're free to walk out from that interview. Other people, who either like or are fine with the provision, will happily do the job.

The only time when you actually need government is when something is a universal standard where you're reversing an entire industry rather than an employer.

And for those saying dress codes are fine, men should be forced to wear high heels too if its a "uni" form. If not, then the purpose is of requiring only women to do it is obvious, and that's something I'm fine with being banned

That doesn't even make any sense.
