This is true, and caring too much about fashion and appearance is vain and shallow. People in DC have more important things to care about - like the future of the nation. [/quote]

And this one, knew it was coming, too. You can't be a good thoughtful person and care about your appearance. Only people with ugly clothes and not care for their appearance have depth of character. [/quote]

You can be, but it’s an outlier. The reality is if you spend most of your time studying science, you aren’t spending a bunch of time studying hair,  make up in fashion.

Also, there isn’t as much positive feedback to looking good when your career is curing cancer.[/quote]

That is ridiculous.  Newsflash:  women can be scientists (or engineers, journalists, doctors, etc.) and still enjoy fashion.  You are exactly the kind of person who pushes this trope that "serious" women can't also look fashionable.

I wonder if PP actually knows very many people who are scientists/ curing cancer? I am a Ph.D. scientist (no longer doing cancer research, but did for years) and I do in fact enjoy fashion, make up and fitness as do many (not all) of my friends who have similar degrees and work in the same field. We trade tips on skin care and hair products and try to look nice. When I do STEM events I always wear makeup and bright colors as my own little protest against the idea that women can’t be serious scientists AND look however they want to look! [/quote]

DP. I have known many bench scientists. They did not dress up for the lab.[/quote]
