On Clinton smiling - I am enraged that one of the complaints was during some kind of security meeting, where one should not be smiling at all, IMO. I don't understand how anyone can't see that harping on women's appearance while ignoring men's isn't sexist or even subtle sexual harassment. puffy orange bezoar - Ha! That's great!
I'll be honest. Until I moved to Charlotte and started meeting business people a few years ago, I had no idea that women in offices had different dress codes to the men, as in having to wear makeup, heels, and changing clothes more often. I was blown away when I learned. It's not just a time issue, but an unfair money issue as well. As that's a much bigger investment than men have to do.
In my own experience, I used to get a lot of social pressure to wear a bra, until I finally caved. And then I found out it actually entices men to see a hint of 'women' nipples, so I always make sure they're hidden now, and it is such a pain in my ass. I still get grief for not removing my body hair, but that's a hard line for me, and people usually leave me alone after the first salvo.
