There are only a few females in SWE and most wear comfortable clothing: jean/tshirt or blouse/tennis shoes. I am one of them. Lately, our company merged program managers that face customers under the SWE umbrella. PM's have almost the same ratio of males and females. Almost all females dress up:heels, skirts, hair and nails did but the caliber of most is on the basic and sometimes, one or two looking trashy than classy: Tatas hanging out, short skirt, cowgirl boots, very bad makeup and long nails. Sighs.
I love getting dressed up with full makeup when going out on the weekends, but am wayyy too lazy to do it everyday for work.
What do you all like to wear to work? Makeup? Nails? If so, is there any other reason than liking it?

She is a great engineer by the way, but I wonder if I should tell her to tone it down a little.
You know the difference between a woman who shows up to work intending to be sexually provocative, versus one just dressed comfortably. We ALL know.
By your logic we should pretend that if someone comes to work dressed like a Playboy bunny, installs a stripper pole at her desk, and twerks, she isn't sexualizing the workplace and anyone who complains is just like a Muslim extremist demanding everyone wear a burka.
It's wrong for people to sexualize women who are just dressing professionally and it's wrong for women to sexualize themselves at work by dressing provocatively.
Idk any reason someone who'd spend 2 hours daily on dressing up to go to a work place which is super competitive and where everybody pulls off extra hours. I mean its just a super time waste, and they do that every freaking day. Its really a disgusting feeling but I cannot really imagine them doing that for any other reason apart from attracting their male bosses and have some kind of superior influence while communicating because many men feel intimidated by the makeups and short dresses that we don't argue much. It feels like they want to take advantage of that.

It's not only men who make inappropriate comments who are sexualizing the workplace.. These women are also sexualizing it. They ate sexualizing themselves in purpose and they know it.
Stop telling me we're supposed to ignore that they did that. Let's talk about how that's inappropriate in the first place. Stop sexualizing yourself at work.
