Women who don’t wear makeup to work aren’t “putting in the effort” and look “unprofessional” meanwhile men who don’t wear makeup to work don’t need to worry about this shitty shit.

Ehh. I just came across this article which says that in a survey %64 of directors think that women not wearing makeup look unprofessional and %18 say they look like they’re not putting in the effort.

The effort that men don’t have to put in, by nature of their being born men in this sexist society.

Urgh.

The article goes on to say that because of this women should perhaps hire an image consultant, or a stylist. Money to hire a professional that men wouldn’t have to pay.

Oh yes - it says men should consider makeup if they have blotchy skin, or they need to appear under bright lights for stage or television or something, but you know. As it says:
“It is a fact that women who wear make-up in business generally get better jobs, get promoted more quickly and get paid more.”

Somehow I think mens careers don’t have the same “wear makeup/be attractive, but not too attractive because if you look too sexy thats unprofessional too” shit that women have, and it doesn’t say affect their promotions, their jobs and their pay.

Even those people who don’t believe in patriarchy, or hierarchies, or structures of oppression have got to look at this and say “Well thats sexist” don’t they? It’s bloody obvious. This isn’t in depth stuff.
Women have more expectations. They must put more time and effort into their presentations then men, they need to buy the products spending more money then men, if they want to do it “right” they should hire a professional paying money men don’t need to pay, they have to wakeup earlier then men do to prepare themselves - just to reach a point where they look “professional” where men basically just need to make sure their suit is ironed, and that they have a nice enough tie.

The sexism is pretty blatant.
