I think the dress code is stupid. But if he were against it, he should not have attended at all. To attend and make a scene is just about publicity. It touches the superficial thread of rebellion without being respectable or commendable.

Rules don't get changed due to people quietly saying "I don't like this rule" while staying at home. Public rebellion is what gets the job done. Protests that don't inconvenience anyone are irrelevant.

I mean...I feel like lots of rules are changed by people just saying they don't like the rule? Modern society would be pretty unworkable if the only way to change any rule was public rebellion.

(Plus, its not really clear to me that Carlson actually cares about the dress code rule? By his own admission, he broke it by accident, not like a concious act of rebellion, and his issue seems to have been with the way it was then enforced rather then the rule itself.)
