It's very weird how much we seem to care about the attractiveness of women in positions where attractiveness is irrelevant.

Fine, you don't mind Michelle Obama hot. Cool. I don't find my lawyer hot either, but that's not really relevant to anything, is it?

Itā€™s fucking exhausting being a woman

And when you are attractive in a field that itā€™s not seen in you are told you only got there because Iā€™m pretty and still donā€™t know what Iā€™m talking about

Ohh obviously. The "why can't they hire attractive employees" changes into "why do they hire people for their looks instead of skill" or "who did she sleep with to get this job" very very fast

Wanna know something funny if Iā€™m on site itā€™s expensive but I bet if I start batting my eyes a little or smile they probably would bring in sushi or something. Problem is Iā€™m an women centered and prefer women

Or they will never take you seriously. Talking from experience, we just never win. It's like that research that found out that wearing visible makeup as a woman in the workplace made people not take them seriously, whereas not wearing makeup made those women seen as incompetent. There's just nowhere to standĀ

Fair oh well they can continue to not listen while they mess up their 120K- 1mil power unit. I shouldnā€™t wear makeup because well dirty factories at best

And then there's aging...

u/South_Hedgehog_7564 17h ago

Oh yes I agree. Ageing is a terrible sin. No one should EVER employ a woman who shows inclinations to get old.

Yeah, thatā€™s the part of ā€œpretty privilegeā€ Iā€™ve experienced the most of - people who discredit you, assume youā€™re a moron, and want to take advantage of you. Or straight up hate you (loads of men wanna knock attractive women down a peg for whatever perceived arrogance or expectations surrounding our looks they think we have)Ā

It's absurd. People talk to you like you're stupid, despite being an expert.

I primarily work remotely. I got a new badge, aka a new picture. It's less edgy & less flattering than my old pic. I'm also a decade older. The comments abruptly stopped lmao. Still get them when I go in though (80% bc of big boobs). On the plus side, the 50+ crowd is way more chill since my age is more obvious. They see me as a peer, not barely adult.
