Why women are forced to doll up while men aren't?

[Anonymous]

"When Weaver asked the job recruiter for feedback about why, the recruiter wrote back in an email reviewed by HuffPost that she “was concerned that you didn’t put forth enough effort into your appearance given you were interviewing for a vice president role.”
Weaver said she was “baffled” by this feedback.
She had blown out her hair and donned a freshly ironed blazer, collared shirt and earrings for her video interview. The only thing she had not done? Put on makeup."

Why do you think?

It is not nature's way. The men ought to be dressed up colorfully, dancing, singing, using the dollars and trying to attract the women.

Something I learned today:

The Huffington Post is still a thing.

For a moment i thought it was 2004.

Kind: BLOWN.

What’s next: Someone’s gonna tell me the Drudge Report is still around?

I wonder how old the recruiter was. I know a woman who used to be a recruiter and is now retired. She admitted if women were fat or unattractive she was told not to hire them. This was for positions in a leasing agency in NY.

Most people in top roles are attractive. Companies are vain. Unfortunately for women, they are often expected to look "polished" which means makeup and nice clothes that look sharp.

I have heard recruiters admit to me that companies have passed on potential hires due to their lack of fashionable clothing, including for men who look poorly dressed or don't know what to wear without looking nerdy or frumpy.
