The Thing (1982) studies

She didn't work there. She just felt like randomly telling another (presumed) woman that the completely transparent, shortest physically possible hair on my cheeks was Too Much.

I got more than one Official Talking To at Wachovia/Wells Fargo bc my suits were too masculine in cut, my haircut was too masculine (and had i considered getting highlights?), and I didn't wear, or didn't wear enough, makeup. These were all framed as Coaching, as an attempt to help me present myself in a way that would help me to advance my career (and as someone gently telling me that these things were currently very much in the way of my career).

Women are allowed to wear women's pants. They not "allowed to dress masc". Women can wear suits only if they're suits for women. Women can wear pants only if they're pants for women. If a woman wears a baggy flannel it must be over a low cut tank top or tied around her waist or only be on a very feminine woman. Women are still passed over for jobs for not wearing makeup, or their jobs come into jeopardy for not wearing makeup or simply existing as they are, and also if their hair is short and unfeminine.

And the comments are gold
