Frankly, I'd feel far more harassed by having the city choose my underwear:

A Canadian city under pressure for alleged sexual harassment within its fire department has ordered firefighters to wear only boxer-style underwear.

Richmond, British Columbia will spend C$16,000 ($14,200) to buy six pairs of underwear for each firefighter in a bid to make firehalls in the suburb of Vancouver more gender neutral, a newspaper reported on Tuesday.
...
A recent investigation of the department described its workplace culture as "characterized by juvenile and hostile behavior" toward female firefighters by their male colleagues.

And boxers will solve this problem?  Briefs are harassing?  Personally I'm a boxers guy, but some guys like the extra support.  Are they just out of luck?  And what about boxer briefs?  Do those count as boxer style?  Or are they too brief-like and show off the guy's package too much?  Or is the problem here that guys are going commando under their uniforms?  Cause frankly, I'd think they'd want as much protection for their "hose" in a fire as possible.

And will there be a regulation on bras for women?  No push-up bras because they show off cleavage too much perhaps?  Not to mention the fact that under wires might heat up in a fire and burn the skin.  And if women have to wear boxers too, do men have to wear a bro?
