Very few of those rose through the ranks.  Founders can look however they want.  When you're mid-level exec, you don't have the luxury of looking unprofessional.

OP - yes, women are held to a different beauty standard and it's unfair, but I'll submit that women also enjoy more tools at their disposal for achieving those standards.  As a man, if I want to fix or hide my physical shortcomings, I can't transform my face in the same way that women can.  So the bar is sometimes set at different heights, but the ability to achieve those different heights also varies across genders.[/quote]

Leave it to a man to twist gender discrimination against women to somehow paint himself as a victim. And I understand that you will NEVER get it. Get what's it's like to be a women held to gender standards and to have to go above and beyond to be considered for a job.

You don't have to "transform your face" to be taken seriously and get a job (though I'd say you can absolutely do facials, botox, and some other things that women use and i knwo that men do use). Women do. As this article illustrates. That's not just unfair, it's discrimination. And unless those appearance standards are job-related-and in most if not all situations they are not- it is illegal discrimination.[/quote]
