[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No excuses ladies. You don’t take care of yourselves anymore [/quote]

You use "taking care of yourself" as code for "striving to appear physically attractive to others".  How misogynistic of you.

I'm in excellent health and have excellent hygiene.  I usually wear athletic clothing with my hair in a pony tail and no make up. Why should I care whether randos think I'm attractive or not?

I started my professional career, like a PP, being required to wear pantyhose and makeup.  I'm SO glad those days are over![/quote]

It’s not about others thinking I’m attractive. It’s about respect for myself and respect for those around me. When I’m dressed up and put together, I work harder and do better in everything. You can tell my mental state by the state of my nails.

Besides, it takes just as much time to put on sweatpants as it does to put on a nice outfit. Or do your dressy clothes have some sort of weird contraptions?

I also started off my career in pantyhose and makeup and I wish business formal attire were still a thing. It made most people more present, focused, hardworking and more respectful.

We are degenerating as a society, unfortunately.[/quote]

I mean, that's your opinion. My opinion is that it was always unnecessary for you to wear pantyhose, makeup, and business attire. You consider those things ways you respect yourself and respect people around you, fine. I don't care if you show up to a meeting wearing actual PJs if you are prepared for the meeting. Why is clothing a proxy for intelligence and competence to you? As for working harder and doing better when you're dressed up, that's you. I work better at home in my PJs than I ever did at my office in heels. People can be different. Your assumption is that people who do not dress up in formal attire are lazy and disrespectful. That is a value judgment, not an objective reality.[/quote]
